This season, the Tigers will use a mix of veterans and new comers with their 36-man roster in hopes of capturing the program's third ODAC Championship. Last season, Hampden-Sydney finished 20-19 overall with a 10-8 conference mark before taking a tough 11-10 loss to two-seeded Virginia Wesleyan.

Leading the way offensively for the squad will be senior third baseman Matt Brown and junior outfielder Herbie Williams. more...
