This Week
The Racers begin their OVC bye week with Lindenwood-Belleville coming to Reagan Field for a single-game contest. The Lynx are an NAIA institution. MSU will close the weekend with a three-game set at Samford this weekend.
Three In a Row
With their series win last week against Jacksonville State, the Racers have now won three consecutive series and have won 4-of-5 OVC series this season. MSU has won 2-of-3 against UT Martin, Austin Peay and JSU and swept Eastern Illinois two weeks ago.
McGowan-Moore Walk-Off Wins
Matt McGowan and Kipp Moore each had walk off, game-winning hits for the Racers against Jacksonville State April 4. McGowan hit a single to left field with the bases loaded to lead MSU to an 8-7 victory over the Gamecocks, while Moore's heroics came via a three-run home run to left that sent the Racers to a 10-9 win and series victory.
Downey Career-High
Brock Downey recorded a career-high 13 strikeouts and 142 pitches in his start against Jacksonville State April 2. Downey has recorded double digit strikeouts three times in his career and the 13 punchouts overtakes his previous high of 12 K's against UT Martin in 2014.
