Efficient Thieves
Lafayette is 19-of-20 in stolen bases, ranking third in the Patriot League, but best in the conference in stolen base percentage. Freshman Justin Johnson and sophomore Colin Hartey lead the Leopards, each with a perfect 4-for-4 mark.
 
The Rookie's Big Week
The Patriot League awarded Johnson the Rookie of the Week honor on March 12 after putting together a pair of multi-hit games in a three-game series at VCU. In the series finale, Johnson was 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored and hit a double in each game of the series.

An even twenty
Head coach Joe Kinney is in his 20th season at the helm, making him the second-longest tenured head coach in the Patriot League. Former pitching coach and current director of baseball operations, Gregg Durrah, has been on Kinney's staff for each of the 20 years.
