Eastern Kentucky University is gearing up to host Rhode Island for a three-game baseball series this weekend at Earle Combs Stadium. The Colonels, currently standing at a 0-12 record, are eager to secure their first win of the season after suffering a recent loss to No. 23 Kentucky. Rhode Island, with a 4-8 record, will present a tough challenge for EKU, boasting a strong batting lineup led by Anthony DePino who is batting .412 with 21 runs and 8 home runs. EKU will need to focus on scoring runs and solid pitching performances to overcome their losing streak and come out victorious in this series. The first game is set for Friday at 6 p.m., followed by a Saturday match at 7 p.m. and a Sunday game at 1 p.m. Rhode Island is coming off a high-scoring win earlier in the season, scoring 36 runs in a dominant 7-inning performance. This weekend’s series presents a critical opportunity for EKU to turn their season around and build confidence for future games. With the support of their home crowd and a strategic focus on their game plan, the Colonels are hopeful that they can secure their first wins of the season against a competitive opponent like Rhode Island.
