Terry Walsh is leading the conference in hitting (conference games only) with a .69 average. He's followed by teammate Konrad Schmidt ... The Hornets' Gaba Jacobo is eighth in hitting in conference games at .365 ... Ndvada is second in hitting in conference games (.319), second in team pitching (4.53 ERA) and first in fielding (.979, 10 errors).
