Emory Baseball Looks to Rebound in Midweek Action against Maryville & Oglethorpe
The Emory University baseball team will try to put an end to its

Maryville College (Tenn.) on Tuesday, April 6th, and
host Oglethorpe University on Wednesday, April 7th.

hands of Piedmont College last weekend. Emory currently
stands at 7-8 at home and 2-4 in road games this season.
Maryville will enter the game with an overall record of 16-9,
including a mark of 8-4 in home games. The Scots took two of
three games against 21st-ranked Huntingdon College this
past weekend. Tuesday’s game against Maryville is

earlier in the season at Chappell Park, with the Scots prevailing

Riebsame drove in two runs during the game, and senior

strikeouts over six innings.
Oglethorpe will begin the week with a record of 16-13 this season,
including a mark of 4-6 in road games, and will face Piedmont at
home on Tuesday before playing Emory. The Stormy Petrels are
coming off a three-game sweep against Sewanee this past weekend,
and have now won five-consecutive games. Wednesday’s
