Baseball just lends itself to cool tidbits of information.
In his two years at Chapman, Maciel has redefined the phrase take one for the team as he has taken 34 for the team, including 17 this year. Include his 19 walks and 46 hits and Maciel is first on the team with a .488 on-base percentage. Albright has driven in at least one run in 11 straight games, including Chapman s 6-1 loss to U.C. San Diego on Saturday. During his current streak, Albright has 30 RBI to bring his season total to 55. If the Panthers make a decent run in the playoffs and Albright remains hot, his 75 RBI mark from a year ago doesn t seem so impossible.
