Numerical nuggets from the Czar of Series Statistics:
- Even though Lubbock Christian and Oklahoma City have a combined 19 appearances and 42 victories in Series play, they meet for the first time in this tourney today. They each have one title.
- Point Loma’s Brandon Dixon and LCU’s R.L. Eisenbach each threw complete games in Game 15. The last time both teams had pitchers go the distance was in 2004. L-C’s Carlos Fisher and Mount Vernon’s Adam Rowe each pitched nine innings in a 2-0 Warrior victory.
- Point Loma’s pitchers have allowed only four runs (two earned) in three games and have an ERA of 0.69. The record for fewest runs allowed in a Series is five by two teams, the last being Georgia Southern in 1964. The lowest ERA by one a team in the Series is 0.80, set by Lewis-Clark State in 1996.
