>> Daniel Palka is second in the ACC in average (.489) and slugging (.800), and leads the conference with 20 RBI. He’s driven in at least a run in seven-straight games and nine of the 12 games.

>> The Jackets lead the ACC in batting average (.350), hits (149) and home runs (12), and four Jackets currently rank among the top 14 in hitting in the league.
