DSU (22-14) currently sits fourth in the league at 15-8. Mike Kinnison’s Statesmen have won six straight GSC series. West Florida is 28-16, 19-11 (fifth).

Ethan Gill, former Itawamba Community College star, powers the DSU attack with a .349 average, nine homers and 46 RBIs. Jonathan Moody, reigning GSC pitcher of the week, is 4-2 with a 3.77 ERA (and four complete games) and will start one of Saturday’s two games. The three-game set concludes on Sunday. East Mississippi CC product LeDarious Clark is hitting .320 with eight homers, 36 RBIs and 17 steals for the Argonauts. … Mississippi College (12-31, 4-25 in its return to the GSC) plays at Valdosta State today and Saturday to finish its season and Brian Owens’ tenure as coach.
