Baseball can't find offensive groove in series loss to SIU

DeKALB — Baseball’s offensive struggles put it on the wrong side of a series sweep to the Southern Illinois University–Carbondale Salukis over the weekend.

After showing consistency in the batter's box all season long, the Huskies could only muster up four runs in Carbondale.

“SIU did a good job of pounding the strike zone and keeping our hitters off balance all weekend,” Head Coach Mike Kunigonis said. “We need to make better adjustments in game from at-bat to at-bat.”

It was a pitching duel in the series opener Friday that saw the Huskies lose 2-1 in 10 innings.
