Stealin' the Show
Newcomer Mykaela Arellanes broke a single-game school record with four stolen bases in Southeast's 7-2 win over Alabama A&M (Mar. 11). The Redhawks finished with a season-high seven stolen bases in that game. Arellanes is one of three players in the Ohio Valley Conference who has stolen four bases in a game this year. The others are Eastern Illinois' Kayla Bear (vs. Fort Wayne) and UT Martin's Lauren Myers (vs. Farleigh Dickinson). Southeast ranks fifth in the OVC with 33 stolen bases this season.

Freshman center fielder Rachel Anderson is off to an outstanding start in her first year with the Redhawks. Anderson leads the Ohio Valley Conference with a .491 batting average through 18 starts. She also leads the league in on-base percentage (.565) and triples (5), and is second in slugging percentage (.849). She leads the team with 24 strikeouts and presently has 204 in her career. Anderson hit safely in 15 of her first 18 contests.

Krumrey Keeps Rolling
Madeline Krumrey went 2-0 with a 0.57 ERA to lead Southeast to a 3-1 record at the Leon Smith Classic in Oxford, Alabama last weekend. Krumrey opened the tournament by tossing 5.1 scoreless innings and struck out three in a combined 2-0 shutout over Loyola-Chicago. The Redhawks became the second team to shutout the Ramblers, who opened the year winning 14-straight games. Two days later, Krumrey recorded a season-high five strikeouts in a complete game victory over Alabama A&M. She allowed only one earned run in 12.1 innings over her last two starts. Krumrey improved to 7-2 this season and ranks ninth in the Ohio Valley Conference in ERA (1.57) and third in wins.
