HALDEMAN, Ky. (Interstat) — Morehead State looks to sweep a three-game Ohio Valley Conference series against Western Illinois on Sunday afternoon at Allen Field.

The Eagles (27-22, 14-9 OVC) have won the first two games of the set, 10-8 on Friday and 4-3 on Saturday. A victory Sunday would give Morehead State a 3-0 weekend and extend its winning streak to three games.

Western Illinois (15-31, 6-17) has lost four of its last five, including the first two in Haldeman. The Leathernecks are trying to avoid a series sweep for the second time in three weekends.

First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT under cloudy skies. The temperature is forecast at 69 degrees.

Morehead State’s offense has been led by senior infielder Caden Sheridan. In Saturday’s win, Sheridan went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBIs. Over his last 10 games, he has driven in 13 runs and homered three times. He ranks among the OVC leaders in slugging percentage.

Western Illinois counters with junior outfielder Liam Bushey. Bushey is 3-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs in Friday’s loss. In his last five games, he is hitting .381 (8-for-21) with two home runs and 10 RBIs. He has been the most consistent run producer for a Leathernecks lineup that has averaged 4.5 runs over the last two weeks.

The Leathernecks are coming off a 3-4 loss Saturday in which they stranded nine runners. Western Illinois starter Luke Hamilton (2-5, 5.68 ERA) is expected to get the ball Sunday. He has allowed four or more earned runs in three of his last four outings.

Morehead State will send right-hander Mason Cooper (5-3, 4.21) to the mound. Cooper has won his last two decisions, including a complete-game shutout of Arkansas-Little Rock on May 1.

Saturday’s game was decided in the bottom of the ninth when Morehead State’s Jack Thompson scored on a wild pitch. The Eagles have won six of their last eight games overall.

Western Illinois has lost 10 of its last 12 on the road. The Leathernecks are hitting .254 as a team with a 6.72 ERA.

Morehead State is 16-10 at home this season. The Eagles are batting .286 with a 4.98 team ERA.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 7-5 Eagles victory.

After Sunday, Western Illinois returns home to face Eastern Illinois for a three-game series starting Thursday. Morehead State travels to Tennessee Tech for a weekend set.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
