Game Winners Blayne Jones collected a pair of game-winning hits during the week. His 12th-inning single plated the go-ahead run at Air Force on Friday, and his two-run eighth-inning triple Tuesday put DBU in front of Oklahoma State for good. Jones extended his hitting streak to 10 games Sunday with his first multi-hit game of the year.

Strong Senior ArmsSenior starting pitchers MD Johnson and Jordan Martinson are making their way up the DBU career leaderboards. Through six weekend series, Johnson sits in second place in DBU’s Divi-sion I era with 22 wins, third in starts (47), third in strikeouts (213), and fifth in innings pitched (236.1). Martinson is fifth in starts (42), tied for fifth in wins (17), fifth in strikeouts (206), and seventh in innings pitched (221.2).

Glowenke Extends StreakJimmy Glowenke extended his reached-base streak to 52 games, posting a .545 OBP against Oklahoma State and Air Force, including an active three-game hit-by-pitch streak. The sophomore shortstop is 17 games short of Jason Krizan’s program record of 69.

MVC MagicMissouri State enters conference play this week looking to extend a string of unprecedented success against its Valley foes. The Bears went 18-3 during league play last spring en route to their second-straight MVC regular-season crown, running their two-year MVC mark to 36 wins in 40 total conference games. Coupled with their 4-0 week at the 2019 Valley Tournament, the Bears have won 43 of their 49 total contests against MVC foes over the previous two seasons.

Heating UpBears All-American Drew Millas suffered through a challenging opening month of the season, missing two weeks with a hamstring injury while struggling at the plate with a .129 batting mark through his first eight games of 2019. But the junior catcher has caught fire over the last two weeks, hitting .333 (9-for-27) with a .486 on-base percentage, two home runs and four RBIs since March 12. Millas has reached base safely via a hit, walk or hit by pitch in eight straight games, logging hits in seven of those, including each of his last five (since March 16).

Righting the ShipWhile the Bears’ 5-16 mark represents their worst-ever start through 21 games, they do own a track record of flipping early results under head coach Keith Guttin. On three separate occasions, MSU has overcome sluggish starts to post winning season records, including two seasons in which they ultimately earned postseason bids after getting off to rocky starts. In 1996 and 1997, the Bears captured their first two MVC Tournament titles, but not before getting off to a 9-13 start in 1996 and a 1-8 start the following year. MSU’s previous all-time worst start in 1993 saw the Bears open with just six wins in their first 21 contests, only to end up with a 32-23 season mark after winning 25 of their final 29 regular-season games.

INDIANA STATE (19-2) MISSOURI STATE (5-16)



Freshman ImpressesSam Grace pitched eight innings of two-hit shutout baseball out of the bullpen for Southern Illinois in its 3-1 week. Grace struck out seven and didn’t issue a walk, limiting opponents to just two singles and an .077 batting average on the week. In his most impressive outing of his young career, Grace pitched six innings of one-hit shutout baseball against Morehead State, who entered the weekend among the nation’s top-12 offenses in batting average and scoring.

Hot at HomeSIU went 3-1 at Itchy Jones Stadium last week, improving to 10-2 at Itchy Jones Stadium this year. The hot home start is the best for the program since also starting 10-2 at home (then Abe Martin Field) in 2008. The Salukis are 4-0 at home in one-run games after going 3-0 in one-run games last week. Overall, SIU is 11-2 in its last 13 games against unranked teams.

Yeager is the BombJustin Yeager pitched 4.1 innings without allowing an earned run for Southern Illinois in the 3-1 week. SIU went 3-0 in games Yeager pitched in. On the season, Yeager is SIU’s best ERA at 1.64 and has allowed only two earned runs all season. One of those earned runs was in the season-opening weekend; since then, Yeager has allowed just one earned run in eight appearances, putting up an 0.93 ERA in 9.2 innings. Yeager has allowed only five hits (all singles) this season while striking out 14.

Bullpen Bright SpotsThe majority of Valpo’s bullpen saw action in this past weekend’s series against Butler, and the results were largely successful for most of those arms. Seven Valpo relievers pitched at least one inning against the Bulldogs and did not allow a run. Easton Rhodehouse continued his recent roll by working scoreless frames in both games of Saturday’s doubleheader. In the nightcap, he earned his first save of the year and the fifth of his career. James Meyer saw his first action since 2017 on Sunday and retired the side in order. Tanner Skidmore, Jarrett Hammel, Keegan Bates, Jim Jarecki and Josh Currier also had strong showings.

Fields Still FiringValpo freshman Colin Fields moved into the No. 2 spot in the pitching rotation this past weekend and continued to thrive, racking up a career-high 11 strikeouts while picking up his second straight victory in a 5-2 win over Butler. Over his last two starts, Fields has a 2.57 ERA and 2-0 record with 20 strikeouts against just three walks.

Denting the Hit ColumnValpo junior Riley Dent has climbed into the team lead in batting average at .333. He ripped his first career triple for a key insurance tally late in Saturday’s Game 2 victory over Butler. Dent owns a seven-game hitting streak to continue a breakout offensive season after he batted .209 a year ago and .206 as a freshman.
