INSIDE THE SERIES

-  The last meeting between the two teams, on March 11, 2020, turned out to be the final game of the 2020 season as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down college sports a day later.  Eastern Kentucky beat NKU 9-5 in Highland Heights.  Charlie Ludwick went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run in that game.  Logan Thomason had a run and an RBI.
 
THE COLONELS
-  The Colonels moved to 13-8 on the season and began ASUN Conference play this past weekend by winning two of three at North Alabama.
