The Bulldogs swept Kent State this past weekend and outscored the Golden Flashes 31-9 in the process.

Cole McConnell returned to the Tech lineup for the first time in a year and was his usual self. The Beaumont, TX native homered on Friday and Saturday like he'd never left.

Ethan Bates and Dalton Davis combined for 9 RBI in the middle of the Tech lineup in the sweep.

McNeese State opened the season by getting swept at Texas A&M and losing a midweek contest to UL-Lafayette to start 0-4.

However, the Cowboys responded this past weekend by sweeping New Mexico State in a 4-game series in Lake Charles.

Three of the four wins came by one run.

Connor Westenburg has been dynamic at the top of the Cowboys lineup hitting .448 through his first 8 games this season.
