Evans is one of four WKU baseball players on the Hoppers’ roster this summer alongside rising sophomore pitcher Hunter Crosby and newcomers Jacob Jenkins and Lane Diuguid. Hoptown’s roster is made up of 27 college baseball players from around the country that currently have the team at 17-11 and leading the West Division of the nine-member OVL organization.
Recent Christian County graduate and WKU signee Diuguid jumped right into summer baseball with the Hoppers and went 3-2 with a 3.60 earned run average. The lefty started classes at WKU this week and said he plans to scale back his schedule and pitch once a week for the Hoppers, who have 12 games remaining until July 23.
