First Pitch
Murray State returns to Reagan Field after a nine-game road trip over the past two weeks. The Racers went 0-9 during their road swing and will be playing in Murray for the first time since April 8. SEMO enters the weekend the top team in the OVC with a 3.5 game lead on Morehead State.
Inside The Series
The all-time series is tied between the Racers and Redhawks at 52-52-1. MSU is 25-19-1 all-time at home against SEMO and won 2-of-3 against the Redhawks the last time the two were at Reagan Field back in 2013. SEMO has won three of the last four in the series overall.
Tough Stretch
With four OVC series left in the season, the Racers have the toughest remaining strength of schedule in the league as their remaining opponents (SEMO, Belmont, Eastern Kentucky and Morehead State) have a conference winning percentage of .603 this year.
Innings Pitched Mark
With his next inning pitched, senior Brock Downey will break a tie with Kyle Perry (2000- 03) for 11th on the all-time career innings pitched list at MSU. Downey has pitched 219.1 innings in his career.

As a team, the Redhawks are second in the OVC with 44 home runs on the season, Boggetto leads the squad with eight homers. Trevor Ezell leads the team with 44 runs scored, 49 hits and 10 stolen bases in 2015.
The SEMO pitching staff is led by Alex Winkelman's 3.48 ERA from the starters while Matthew Wade's 1.71 is a team-best.
