FIRST PITCH
The Arkansas Tech Golden Suns hit the road for the last time in the regular season to face league-leading Southeastern Oklahoma State. The three-game Great American Conference series was adjusted to accommodate for potential weather threats. The teams will now play a double-header on Friday starting at 1 p.m. and a single-game finale on Saturday at noon.
 
The Golden Suns enter the weekend with a 24-14-1 overall record and a 20-7 record in GAC play after sweeping their last four GAC weekend series.
 
TECH TIDBITS
In their last outing, the Golden Suns put together an 11-run inning despite having two outs, knocking five bombs in the inning and securing a run-rule victory. Tymber Riley launched the first homerun of the game out to left center in the top of the third inning before the bats got hot in the fifth. Brooke Prewitt, Makenzie Addis and Makenzie Goins all knocked solo shots in the inning before Catilyn Wells scored Paty Loredo with a two-run bomb to left center. Addis wrapped up the Golden Suns offensive clinic with her league-leading 11th homerun, scoring Prewitt on a shot to dead center.
 
After impressive offensive showings, the Golden Suns now have four players hitting over .300 on the season. Wells leads the charge hitting .395 (45-for-114) with 12 doubles and 31 RBIs on the season. Loredo follows at .333 (32-for-96). Prewitt and Addis round out the group, hitting .309 (34-for-110) and .304 (34-for-112) respectively.
 
Both Maddy Prough and Shannon Lasey have picked up eight wins on the season, with Prough leading in strikeouts with 74 and Lasey following closely with 70. The two have combined for 151 innings this season.
 
SCOUTING THE SAVAGE STORM
The Savage Storm enters the weekend with the best record in the GAC at 22-5 in conference play and a 32-6 overall record. Southeastern Oklahoma has won every GAC series they have played this season. The Savage Storm dropped the series finale against Henderson State in their last outing, 6-0, being shutout for the first time this season.
 
Southeastern Oklahoma loads its offense with six players hitting .300 or higher on the season, led by Peyton Streetman at .404 (42-for-104). Kady Fryrear leads the team with eight doubles while hitting a second-best .361 (44-for-114) while Cheyenne Mahy leads the lineup with nine homeruns this season and a .329 (40-for-123) clip. Mahy also leads the pitching staff with a 1.75 ERA and a 15-2 record. Amberlyn Walsworth shares the mound having pitched 140.1 innings, registering 120 strikeouts for a 15-2 record.
