Crowder is hitting .368 on the season with an on-base percentage of .517 and is slugging .647. He has two home runs, 19 RBI, 25 runs scored, and eight stolen bases. Crowder has now earned the honor three times in his superb career.
He stayed hot on Tuesday night in a 13-5 victory over the East Texas Baptist University Tigers in Marshall, Texas, as the No. 19 Gents (17-2) won their 11th-straight game. Crowder had a three-hit game which included his 54th career double, to set a division III era (2012-present) program record and he also scored three runs on the night. The Gents, which moved up to No. 19 in the country in the D3baseball.com/NCBWA Week 5 poll on Tuesday, are a superb 26-6 in their last 32 games and have not lost a game since falling 8-5 at Huntingdon back on Feb. 28.
The Gents, who were ranked 25th in the poll last week, have scored 13 or more runs in four-straight games after doing so in all three games of a road sweep in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play last weekend over Austin College. The Gents won 15-10 last Friday in the series opener and then swept a DH on Saturday in convincing fashion, winning 13-4 and 16-1 in seven innings. The Gents are off to their best start in the division III era (2012-present),
Centenary resumes SCAC play at home this weekend as the Gents welcome Schreiner to Shehee Stadium for a three-game series and the start of a six-game homestand, as Dallas comes to town April 2-3 for a three-game series.
