The mid-week games for this week and next are the conference series with Missouri State. The Bears come to visit for a DH on Wednesday starting at 3pm. Next Tuesday, the Shockers travel to Springfield for a single game.
Missouri State has an overall record of 21-15 with a 9-6 mark in the Valley. They have two wins over UMKC and a win against Oklahoma State. They lost twice to a ranked Texas A&M in a tournament hosted by the Aggies. In conference play, the Bears have swept Loyola, won two from Bradley and Indiana State and won one game in their series with Northern Iowa and Evansville.
Using conference-only stats, the offense for Missouri State is led by Bethany Sullinger with an OPS of 1.010. The next individual barely clears .800. Kaitlin Beason (ERA of 1.32, best in the Valley for conference-only, and a WHIP of 1.02) and Holly Kelley (1.70 and 0.97) are the pitchers to note. Those are stout numbers for the circle.
Katie, the reigning Valley Pitcher of the Week, has an ERA of 1.71 and a WHIP of 1.17. Jenni, with several nice outings recently, now has numbers of 3.30 and 1.59. The recovery from her surgery appears to be complete.
