With a 10-game Ohio Valley Conference win streak on the line, the Eastern softball team will have a chance to make it 13 in a row with a three-game series at Southern Illi- nois Edwardsville this weekend. Eastern has lost just one game in the past 11 contests. The one loss came to non-conference op- ponent Illinois by a score of 9-7 in Cham- paign. The Panthers have not lost at home in OVC games making all six of their losses coming on the road, where they will be this week. Eastern is 5-6 on the road, so they still have had some success away from home this season. Eastern’s 13-6 OVC record has them in third place in the conference with Southern Illinois-Edwardsville right behind them in fourth with a record of 13-7. The Cougars finished the 2015 season with the best record in the OVC, allowing them to SEAN HASTINGS | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS host the OVC softball championship.
