Need to get some revenge on these guys and hopefully win a midweek game. They were swept over the weekend by Central Arkansas and have lost 5 of their last 6.

In this thread, I see claims that Davis is out for the year, Davis is back, and Davis is day to day.
Anyone care to clarify?
Davis is in the lineup tonight so it doesn’t look like he’s out for the year. Whitting said before the game that he’s day-to-day so that sounds like the official word.
