Inside the Series
MSU looks to extend its four-game OVC winning streak this weekend against the Gamecocks. JSU has won seven of the last eight meetings with the Racers and swept MSU the last time the two teams played at Reagan Field back in 2013. The Gamecocks have won five of their last six games in OVC play, as have the Racers. Both teams are coming off sweeps over Eastern Illinois in their last conference matchups.
Walk It Off
Kipp Moore delivered a game-winning, walk off RBI single Tuesday in the Racers' 9-8 win over Southern Illinois. Moore brought home Taylor Mathews with the hit, Mathews led-off the inning with a first pitch triple off the wall to setup Moore for the winner. It was the first time since 1989 that the Racers have swept the season series from SIU.
Run-Run-Run
MSU's Derek Yoder leads the team and is ninth in the OVC in runs scored this season with 26. Yoder has scored multiple times in the Racers' last four games and has scored nine times during that span.
We Want Some Moore
In his last six games, Nick Moore is hitting .556 (10-for-18) to lead the team and has 11 RBIs. Over that span, Moore has an on-base percentage of .609 and is slugging .833. Moore has two doubles, a home run and has scored four runs in the six games, five of which have been Racer wins.
Scouting Jacksonville State
