Graduate student John Cannavo leads the team with a .465 batting average, and junior Yeri Ramos leads the team with 14 runs batted in.

Cannavo emphasized the improvements the team needs to make going into conference play.

“We’re a gritty team, if we play some hard nosed ball and good defense I think we’re gonna be a hard team to beat,” Cannavo said.
