Game Notes
Murray State kicks off its 2012 home season this weekend in a series of teams with unblemished OVC records, hosting Jacksonville State in a three-game set. The Racers hit the road right away, traveling to Arkansas for early-week doubleheaders against the University of Arkansas and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. They return home the following weekend with three more games against OVC-foe UT Martin.
SCOUTING JACKSONVILLE STATE
The reigning OVC Champions have gotten into a groove as of late, winning their last four after dropping nine of their first 10 games to start the season. The Gamecocks picked up a 13-6 win Thursday night at Georgia Tech and are coming off of a three-game sweep against Eastern Illinois that opened the OVC schedule.
Shelby Holley has been the driving force on offense for JSU, leading the team with 20 RBI and the OVC with11 home runs in just 22 games. As a team, they hold a slight 108-107 run advantage but have hit a staggering 27 home runs to their opponents 12.
Jacksonville State has been boosted by the return of Tiffany Harbin to the circle. The sophomore pitcher missed the beginning of the season due to injury but has won her last three starts, including Thursday's game against Georgia Tech.
RECAPPING TENNESSEE STATE
Murray State picked up its first three-game series sweep in program history this past weekend, earning three wins in the first week of Ohio Valley Conference action at Tennessee State. The Racers defeated TSU 5-2 and 14-0 Saturday and claimed a 10-0 victory Sunday afternoon.
Shelby Kosmecki, Chelsey Sullivan and CheyAnne Gaskey all earned wins in the circle, the latter two tossing a pair of shutouts.
Six different Racers hit .364 or better at the plate on the weekend, led by Christian Cox who recorded a .571 batting average with four hits in seven at-bats as she led the team with five runs scored. Ellyn Troup topped the team with five hits in the three games, also plating four RBI. Casey Castile led all batters with seven runs driven in.
