KEY NOTES TO CONSIDER

1       "FLOOD"ING THE STAT BOOK:  Junior pitcher/infielder Jacqueline Flood has been the Peacocks best hitter this season, leading the team in batting average (.464), hits (13), runs scored (6), triples (1), home runs (2), RBIs (10), total bases (22) and slugging percentage (.786)
 
2      SLAMMING SAMMY GARRETT:  Redshirt freshman outfielder Sammy Garrett has bounced back from a knee injury last season to be one of the top hitters for UIU in 2015. Garrett has seven hits in 19 at-bats, including two doubles. She has knocked in five runs and scored three herself. She has drawn a team-high six walks and leads the Peacocks in on-base percentage at .520. Garrett is also perfect on the basepaths, stealing three bases.
 
3       FINDING THE BATS:  Over the last five games, the Peacocks have raised their batting average by 56 points. Upper Iowa hit .242 over the first four games at the 8-State Classic in Bentonville, Ark. UIU also has raised their runs per game average to nearly four after averaging two runs per game over the first four.
