Falcons Ready For Last Non-Conference Test Before MAC Play Begins
March 03, 2022 | Baseball
RICHMOND, Ky. – The Bowling Green State University baseball program will stay on the road this weekend for a three-game series against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels. The three games at Earle Combs Stadium in Richmond, Ky. will mark the final three for the Falcons before they begin play within the Mid-American Conference next weekend at Miami (OH).
The Orange and Brown are coming off a three-game series at Austin Peay last weekend and showed positive signs despite being 0-3 over the course of the series. The Falcons came just one run short of tying the final game of the series in the ninth inning. Despite those results, the Falcons could still enter MAC play with a positive record should they sweep the Colonels this weekend, entering at 2-4 on the young season.

Scouting Eastern Kentucky
Eastern Kentucky will be coming off two games earlier this week, facing Marshall on Tuesday (March 1) and Dayton on Wednesday (March 2). The Colonels came up short against Marshall in an 8-3 final, but topped Dayton 11-3.
As for weekend series', EKU last hosted Ohio, taking on the Bobcats Feb. 25-27. Eastern Kentucky won the first two games of the series by scores of 4-3 and 7-6 before OU won the weekend finale with a 4-0 shutout.
EKU began the season on the road against Mercer, being swept by a run differential of 27-8 before topping Kentucky State 15-0 on Feb. 23 for their first win of the season. All-in-all, EKU will enter the weekend against the Falcons with a 4-5 standing.
Against Eastern Kentucky All-Time
The Falcons have a 23-7 record against the Colonels all-time, with the first matchup happening in 1964. The last time this matchup happened was in 2018 and was a loss for the Falcons, 9-0. Throughout the rest of the 2010s, the two faced off nine times and the Falcons averaged nearly 12 runs per game, going 7-2 against EKU over that stretch.
Last Time Out
The last time out for the Falcons was a three-game series at Austin Peay. The Falcons were swept in the series, ending the weekend at 2-4 on the season.
The Falcons took a 2-0 lead in the first inning of game one of the series and led until the sixth inning, when the Governors took a 3-2 lead and never looked back scoring eight unanswered for an 8-2 final.
The Governors started off the second game with a bang, scoring five runs in the first inning. Excellent pitching and that outburst of offense led to a 9-0 final in favor of APSU.
The third game of the series saw a close contest. After going down 6-3 early, the Falcons began their comeback attempt in the eighth, but went into the ninth inning still down two runs. A solo homer in the ninth gave Falcons fans hope, but the rally fell short with a final score if 7-6 to the Governors.
