Schmitz said the success comes from pitching coach Jason Ander- STAT ATTACK son finally getting the time to see what all the pitchers are capable of doing. Anderson was hired in late De- cember — only a couple of months prior to the start of the season. “The first four or five weeks of the season he was seeing what (the pitchers) could do, finding out what was good and bad,” Schmitz said. “(An- derson) has done a good job of fig- uring out when to put them in and when not to put them in, what works and what doesn’t.” Eastern has lowered its ERA to 4.56, which is third best in the OVC. After a 37-run performance over the weekend, the Panthers have elevated their batting average to .273, raising it 30 points in 11 games. The Panther offense will head into Illinois facing an Illini pitching staff with a 3.34 ERA, fifth in the Big 10.

By Al Warpinski Staff Reporter

The women’s tennis team will begin a three- game home stand to end regular season play Tuesday. The 10-4 Panthers will host the Tennes- see-Martin Skyhawks in a match that will decide Ohio Valley Conference postseason seeding. Eastern sits in fourth place of the OVC standings, right behind Jacksonville State, which it lost to on Saturday. The Panthers and the Gamecocks both share 5-2 OVC records, but the Gamecocks own the tiebreaker because of head-to-head record.
