The Morehead State softball team is looking to improve its poor road record as they face Southern Indiana this week in a doubleheader and a single game. The Eagles, currently 2-28 overall and 1-11 in the Ohio Valley Conference, have demonstrated offensive potential, recently batting .316 in a three-game series against Tennessee Tech despite losing all three games. Weather disruptions have hindered their schedule this season, affecting matchups multiple times. Morehead is aiming to enhance its overall performance by focusing on pitching and defense during the upcoming series against Southern Indiana.

By the Numbers
  • Morehead State has 16 home runs this season, two shy of last year's total at the halfway point.
  • The team's batting average is currently at .274, with an average of 4.69 runs per game.
State of Play

Bottom Line

Morehead State needs to capitalize on its offensive potential and address its pitching difficulties to turn around its road performance against Southern Indiana, aiming for a much-needed series win.
