The Shockers (7-31, 0-12) continue conference play this weekend against Evansville.
The Purple Aces (11-23, 4-8) are coming off winning two of three from pre-season conference favorite Illinois State last weekend. They lost three to Northern Iowa and won one from Bradley and from Missouri State in earlier conference weekends. Their team SLOB is .666 while their opponents is .788. Their staff ERA is 3.97 and they have two hitters above .300. They lost to #19 Auburn in early March and a DH to #12 Missouri in late March - and none of the these three losses were by runs-ahead. Evansville were a pre-season pick for ninth in the Valley, but they appear to be playing better than we are at the moment. But there is a reason they play the games.
The LiveStats link appears to be here, but they use an off-brand service, so it is hard to be sure.
Evansville is forecast to have isolated thunderstorms on Saturday with a 30% chance of rain. The potential for severe thunderstorms (30% chance of rain) hits them on Sunday.
