First Pitch
Murray State looks to snap its six-game skid as it returns to OVC play this weekend after playing six consecutive non-conference games. The Racers have won six of their last seven games in conference play and 7-of-9 since being swept by SIUE back in March.
Inside The Series
The Racers have lost their last nine games in Cookeville and haven't won at TTU since 2008. MSU is 32-48 all-time on the road against the Golden Eagles. Tennessee Tech is 5-2 in its last seven games after an eight-game losing streak to end the month of March. The Racers are in the midst of a nine-game road trip.
Keeping It 100
Teammates Anthony Bayus and Tyler Lawrence are both one hit away from 100 for their career. The duo currently leads the team with 34 hits each on the season and both led the team in 2014 with 65 hits apiece.
Scouting Tennessee Tech
The Golden Eagles are led in average by Dylan Bosheers' .339 clip. Ryan Flick is TTU's number one power hitter as he leads the team with 18 extra-base hits, 12 doubles and six home runs. Flick also leads the team with 38 RBIs on the season. Bosheers leads the squad with 34 runs scored and a .568 slugging percentage.
Anthony El Chibani leads TTU with a perfect 5-for-5 on stolen base attempts. As a team, the Golden Eagles are 19-for-24 on stolen base attempts. The 24 attempts are the fewest in the OVC while the 19 swipped bags are the second-fewest in the league.
The Tech pitching staff is led by Chris Chism's 5-1 record and 42 strikeouts. Chism has a 4.75 ERA and is second on the team with 41.2 innings pitched. Evan Fraliex leads the team with 48 innings pitched and is second on the team with three victories. Jeb Scoggins leads the squad with 15 appearances in 2015 and is tied with Cain Sloan for the team lead with three saves each. TTU is led by Head Coach Matt Bragga.
