RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University baseball team will travel to Ohio University to take on the Bobcats at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Colonels (11-6, 2-1 OVC) have won eight of their last nine games and took two of three from Austin Peay over the weekend in their first conference series of the year.

Ohio enters the week at 7-10 and 2-1 in the MAC after beating conference foe Central Michigan in two of three games over the weekend.

The Colonels are 3-1 against the Bobcats since 1984. The last time the schools met was 1999.

Senior Matt Davis leads an EKU offense that ranks second in the conference with a .350 team batting average. The speedy centerfielder is fifth in the OVC with a .435 batting average and leads the conference with 29 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

Sophomore Jayson Langfels is coming off a monster week in which the third baseman batted .500 (11-for-22) with four home runs and 10 RBI. One of his home runs was a two-run walk off job in the bottom of the ninth against in-state rival Western Kentucky on Wednesday. Langfels also ripped a triple in the win over WKU and, in doing so, tied the EKU record for triples in a career with 12.

Freshman Michael Garcia also had a big week for the Colonels, batting .450 over the five-game span and smashing three home runs. In all, the Colonels hit 15 home runs over the last week.

Freshman Greg Terry (0-1) is scheduled to make his first career start on Tuesday. The left hander is tied for the team lead with eight appearances this season.

Marc Krauss and Gauntlett Eldemire lead the Bobcats offensively. Krauss is batting .464 on the season with seven home runs. Eldemire, meanwhile, is batting .451 and was recently named the MAC East Player of the Week after batting .429 with 11 RBI and six runs scored this past week.

Freshman left-hander Brent Choban (0-0) will take the hill for Ohio. It will be Choban’s fourth start of 2009. He has yet to earn a decision in any of those starts.

Following Ohio, the Colonels will host Marshall at Turkey Hughes Field on Wednesday, March 24, at 2:00 p.m.
