Bobby Marsh, University of Miami Hurricanes – Once again, our player to watch for Miami is their power-hitting DH. Even when everyone else is struggling, he always seems to be the only guy getting anything going. That was the case again on Wednesday against Stetson when he went 1-3 with an RBI single, driving in half of the team’s runs in their 11 – 2 loss. We expect him to continue to be productive at the plate, but the rest of the lineup is going to have to stay up if they are going to win this series. The pitching has to be better as well.
Hunter Stokley, University of North Carolina Tar Heels – Stokley is the most dangerous weapon in the Tar Heel’s offensive arsenal. He leads the team with a .365 average while also leading the team with nine home runs and 30 RBIs. His high average combined with his .677 slugging percentage makes him a tough out at the plate. Miami will have to slow him down if they are going to escape this weekend with a series win.
