Senior centerfielder Ryan Skertich hit two homeruns and drove in eight RBIs in the Majors (9-3, 6-2) weekend sweep of SCAC foe Hendrix over the weekend.

The Majors won all three games easily, 12-1, 9-0, 11-1, behind shut down pitching from starters John Fox, Todd Kindler, and Doug Garner.

Lead-off hitter Nick Crawford is setting the table for Skertich and Garner Wetzel in the clean-up spot. Crawford, who has been hit by a pitch five times already, is hitting at a .435 clip including a .588 on base percentage and a team leading eight (8-8) stolen bases. Crawford did not miss any games despite taking a pitch in the cheek, that required stitches, against Mississippi College Feb. 15.

Wetzel has just four RBIs in 2005, while hitting .417, mostly due to Skertich's torrid hitting in the early season. Pitchers have been avoiding the power-hitting shortstop by walking him, a team leading, eight times in 2005.

Skertich, who is hitting .500 on the season and has hit safely in every game in 2005, batted 9-15 with 3 HR’s and 8 RBIs, 2 doubles, and he scored seven runs in games against Rust College Thursday and Hendrix College over the weekend. Skertich has 18 RBIs in eight games.

The Majors need not overlook LaGrange College and Rhodes, who they play this week, both on the road, preparing for a three game showdown on Twenty Field with Trinity University March 12-13.
