Weekend Scouting Report – Troy

Magnifying glassTroy University (5-0)

Troy has gotten their season off to a solid start with a four game sweep of Rhode Island last weekend. They followed that up with a 3-1 Tuesday win over Penn State’s Saturday foe Kennesaw State.

Troy centerfielder Brian Miller, hitting out of the second spot, has a five game hitting streak going and currently sits at an even .300 for the season. Miller is also the team RBI leader with eight. 1st baseman/DH Daryl Otwell has also hit in every game and is pounding the ball at .478 clip with 8 hits in 17 at bats. But the batting leader for Troy is catcher Beau Brooks who’s got 7 hits in 14 at bats for a perfect .500 average.

Look for Ryan Ellison to get the start for Troy against the Nits. Ryan pitched solidly in the season opener against Rhode Island allowing just 4 hits and 2 earned runs in a 6 inning no decision start.
