RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University baseball team will host Morehead State this weekend in a three-game conference series at Turkey Hughes Field. The Colonels (12-7, 2-1 OVC) enter the weekend fresh off a 10-7 come-from-behind victory over Marshall on Wednesday, while the Eagles (6-15, 0-3 OVC) have not played since being swept at home by Eastern Illinois last weekend.

Saturday’s doubleheader is scheduled to get underway at 12:45 p.m. First pitch for Sunday’s game is also slated for 1:00 p.m.

EKU has been propelled primarily by its offense this season. The Colonels average an OVC-best 9.4 runs per game and have compiled an impressive .346 team batting average. This explosive offensive has helped EKU win nine of its last 11 games.

Senior Matt Davis leads EKU’s offense from the leadoff spot. The speedy centerfielder is batting .449 with a league leading 34 runs and 11 stolen bases. His 14 game hitting streak ended at Ohio University on Tuesday; however, he responded by going 5-for-5 with four runs and a home run the very next day against Marshall.

Sophomore Jayson Langfels has also been swinging a hot bat recently. The third baseman is batting .419 with a team-best 28 RBI and seven home runs, including a tape measure shot to left field against the Thundering Herd on Wednesday.

The Colonels’ projected rotation for this weekend is RHP Chris Hord (1-2), RHP Jim Clancy (2-0) and LHP Paul Duncan (3-2).

Offensively, the Eagles are led by Drew Lee. Lee enters the weekend leading Morehead State in batting average (.451), runs (27), home runs (eight), and RBI (34). The Eagles are batting .327 as a team.

Morehead State’s projected pitching rotation for the weekend is RHP Quentin Morgan (1-1), RHP Tyler Bess (1-2), and RHP Trey Smith (0-2).
