ASUN Baseball Preview: Eastern Kentucky at Lipscomb

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 28, 2026) (Interstat) — The Lipscomb Bisons look to build on a solid midweek victory when they host the struggling Eastern Kentucky Colonels in an ASUN Conference series opener Saturday at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium.

First pitch is scheduled for the afternoon under cloudy skies with temperatures around 61 degrees.

The Bisons (11-11, 3-3 ASUN) enter having won four of their last five, including a 4-1 road win at Belmont on Tuesday. Lipscomb’s pitching staff, led by a strong outing from Cody Underwood, combined for a one-hitter in that victory.

Underwood, a key arm for the Bisons, will be a player to watch. He tossed five scoreless innings of relief against Belmont, allowing just one hit. His recent outings have been a mix of dominance and struggle, highlighting his importance to the bullpen.

Eastern Kentucky (7-18, 2-4) seeks to halt a four-game skid after a 12-6 loss to Morehead State on Tuesday. The Colonels have lost 10 of their last 12 games overall.

Right-hander Jack Briese is a player to watch for EKU. In his last appearance against Morehead State, he provided three innings of relief, allowing one earned run on two hits with three strikeouts. He will look to build on that performance.

The series is a quick turnaround for both teams, who opened their three-game set Friday night. Interstat’s projections heavily favor the home team, giving Lipscomb a 70% probability to win and simulating a 5-3 victory.

Lipscomb holds the more consistent recent form, while Eastern Kentucky aims to find momentum as conference play deepens.
