Weather Cancels Southeast Games
The Redhawks were initially scheduled to host the Southeast Games on Mar. 12-13, but the three-team tournament was cancelled due to heavy rain. Bradley and Eastern Illinois were also set to play in this year's event. It marked the third-straight year where the Southeast Games was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Conference Play Up Next
This week's doubleheaders at Jackson State (Mar. 15) and Southeastern Louisiana (Mar. 16) are Southeast's last matchups before Ohio Valley Conference play. The Redhawks open their 27-game league slate with a three-game home series against Murray State this weekend. Southeast and MSU play a doubleheader at 1 p.m., CT, Saturday and a single game at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Series History
Southeast is 4-2 all-time against Southwestern Athletic Conference member Jackson State and 1-0 against Southland Conference affiliate Southeastern Louisiana. The Redhawks are looking to snap a two-game losing streak in their series against Jackson State after falling, 11-1, in 2012 and, 1-0, in 2013. Southeast beat Southeastern Louisiana, 10-8, in the lone meeting between these teams in Hammond, Louisiana on Feb. 27, 2015.

Krumrey Wins
Sophomore pitcher Madeline Krumrey picked up wins in consecutive starts when she beat Western Kentucky (Feb. 28) and Northern Illinois (Mar. 5). Krumrey recorded a season-high seven strikeouts and allowed one run in four innings against the Hilltoppers. She then struck out five and gave up three runs in seven innings vs. NIU, her first complete game of the season. Krumrey lowered her ERA from 4.67 to 4.20 over her last three starts, which also included a no-decision at Saint Louis (Mar. 6). She is 2-1 with a team-high 27 strikeouts in 33.1 innings through seven
appearances and six starts this year.

Run, Run, Run
Claire Wernig has scored a run in eight of her 13 starts this season. Wernig leads Southeast with 10 runs scored and ranks second with a .300 batting average. She also tops the Redhawks with three multiple-hit performances. Additionally, Wernig has reached base in eight-straight games.

Top Hitter
Third baseman Haylee Krack enters the week as Southeast's top hitter for the first time this season. Krack boasts a .324 batting average in 13 starts, 12 of which were at third. She leads the Redhawks in doubles (3), home runs (3), RBI (10), total bases (23), slugging percentage (.676) and on-base percentage (.395). Krack is third in the Ohio Valley Conference in slugging percentage and tied for fifth in home runs, as well.

Hayes Starts in the Outfield
Sophomore Riley Hayes started in the outfield for the first time in her Southeast career against Northern Illinois (Mar. 5).
