KEVIN MURPHY Exciting time for sprtng0 sports After a lackluster fall season, the Eastern spring sports scene is running full-speed. The Eastern baseball team (24-6, 8-1 Ohio Valley Con­ ference) headlines the group of teams. Receiving votes in nation­ al polls, and ranked 27th in another, the Panthers had their 13-game winning streak snapped Friday against Tennessee Martin. That's OK. They rebounded with a 30-3 win. While they can't win them all, going on 13-, 14- and 15-game win streaks is certainly fine with the Panther Nation.
