CHATTANOOGA NOTES | FULL
MOCS LOOK TO SNAP RECORD SKID
• Chattanooga enters the weekend riding a seven-game losing streak, tying the longest skid within a single season in program history. The Mocs have lost seven-straight in a season just three times since the program began in 1994. The last such streak occured in 2017. Chattanooga's longest overall losing streak is 12 games, spanning across the end of the 2013 season and beginning of the 2014 slate.
 
SNELL CONTINUING HOT START
• Freshman Kailey Snell leads the team and ranks eighth in the SoCon with a .350 (14-for-40) batting average this season. Snell's eight-game hit streak was snapped during GM2's loss at Georgia State last Saturday. She has recorded a hit in all but two games this season.
 
WALK IT OUT
• Senior Cameren Swafford leads the team and ranks second in the SoCon with 11 walks drawn, and sits second on the squad with a .417 OBP. Swafford ranks 42nd in NCAA DI with a 0.79 walks per game average.
 
STRIKEOUTS LACKING IN THE CIRCLE
• Chattanooga ranks 222nd out of 264 NCAA DI teams in strikeout-to-walk ratio (1.00), walking and striking out 49 batters this season over 99.0 innings. Junior Hannah Wood leads the team in that category with 17 strikeouts against 7 walks.
