Valley Forge leads all D-III with 68 stolen bases in 10 games - the second highest total is 15 behind the Patriots ... West Chester (7-0) is hitting .340 as a team, the 12th best mark in the nation at the D-II level ... Swarthmore (5-2) enter the weekend riding a three-game winning streak and have a run differential of +21 on the season ... Cabrini (5-2) reliever Josh Colon has made four appearances this season while tossing 10 innings and allowing just one earned run, limiting opponents to a .184 batting average.
