Briggs took the ball in the opener of a crucial conference series and set the tone with a complete game shutout, with 0 walks and 6 strikeouts. The few times he ran into trouble, Bishop took matters into his own hands. With runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out in the 5th, Bishop snared a grounder and caught the leadoff man off third base. With 2 outs, a line drive knocked his glove off, but Bishop chased the ball down and flipped to 1st to get out of trouble.  Briggs is a junior from Thomasville, Alabama.

Bishop was also chosen as the Region XIII baseball pitcher of the week.

 

Barber posted an impressive .615 batting average and got on base at a 69% clip in a big week for the Rams. After dropping a non-conference game versus a tough foe early in the week, Barber's hot bat helped the Rams to a 3-game sweep over conference foe Spring Hill to push Mobile to 12-9 in the GCAC and keep them in contention with series against the leaders still remaining. The junior outfielder accounted for 8 runs in the 3-game GCAC set and reached base 5-of-5 times in the series finale.  Brett is a outfielder from Daphne, Alabama.

The Rams are now 22-24 on the season and will take their 12-9 conference mark to Belhaven for a 3-game series this weekend. Game 1 is slated for 6:00 Friday. The Blazers and LSU-S Pilots are tied for the GCAC lead with 16-5 records.
