First Pitch
The Racers open their home conference slate this weekend with a three-game series against SIU Edwardsville at Reagan Field. MSU is coming off a season-long six-game road trip, where the Racers went 2-4. The Racers opened OVC play last weekend at UT Martin, going 1-2. SIUE was swept by Jacksonville State to begin league play.
Inside the Series

The two teams last met in Murray in 2014 where the Racers were defeated 6-2, 3-1 and 8-0. MSU is 2-5 over its last seven home games against the Cougars. SIUE is 0-9 this season on the road.
Scouting SIU Edwardsville
The Cougars are led offensively by Keaton Wright's .341 batting average and eight RBIs. Dustin Woodcock is the other Cougar hitting above .300 with a .313 average on the year. Wright and Woodcock lead the team with six extra-base hits each while Wright and Logan Anderson have a team-high seven runs each. As a team, SIUE is hitting .216 and is 8-for-16 on stolen base attempts.
