Meanwhile, Eastern Illinois baseball has a tough test early in the season, matching up with one of the teams in the past two College World Series.
The Panthers travel to No. 3 Vanderbilt tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m. looking for a big upset.
Eastern is 0-3 on the season after getting swept by Southern Mississippi and only has one home game in the next month to look forward to.
On the bright side ... sophomore infielder Cale Henneman went 5-for-9 over the weekend with a double and 2 RBI to lead the Panther's offense.
