The 5-8 Redbirds are coming off being swept by #9 Vanderbilt. First up is a mid-week battle against the Hoosiers. Indiana is 9-6 with a win against former Valley foe #25 ranked DBU. They also have a win over #18 Coastal Carolina. They play Tuesday against Vanderbilt so we have a little round robin action going on.

For the weekend set, UT-Martin is sitting at 5-11 with a loss to Southern Illinois. They play Belmont on Wednesday.

Would be nice to come away with 3 wins this week.

Opponents/game times for this week:
3/13 - @ Indiana 4 pm - B1G+ (subscription required) - Listen
3/15 - @ UT-Martin - 5 pm - ESPN+

Huge start to the game! Redbirds are up 13-0 in the 3rd. Need to save some runs for the weekend! Auggie hit two homers in the second inning in addition to one from Pacella.

I believe Rasmussen is the first Redbird with two homers in an inning since the Ryan Cermak game in 2022.

UT-Martin lost to Belmont 2-3 on Wednesday, so it will be the 5-12 Skyhawks against the 6-8 Redbirds for a 3 game set.

Brids took the first game 4-1. Looks like there were some good defensive plays by the birds

Redbirds improve to 8-9. I think this team could land in the 4-7 range in the 10 team MVC. They will open the conference season against Bradley on Friday.
