JONES: ONE OF TOP FROSH IN MVC True freshman Sydney Jones is proving herself as one of the top freshmen in the Missouri Valley Conference. Starting with the third game of her collegiate career, Jones embarked on a 16-game reached base streak, which is the best on the team this year. She leads the team with six home runs and 25 RBIs this year, including a walkoff two-run bomb in the 10th inning to beat Bradley, 10-9, and a goahead, game-winning two-run homer in the top of the seventh of an 8-6 win over Morehead State.

She also hit the go-ahead RBI double in a 4-2 win over NOTES Illinois State in the top of the seventh inning. LINEUP SHAKEUP SPARKS OFFENSE Head coach Kerri Blaylock mixed up the lineup against Lipscomb right before MVC play started. Centerfielder Kalyn Harker batted leadoff for the season s first 14 games, but Blaylock moved Harker to the No. 2 spot and bumped Kelsey Gonzalez up to the No. 1 hole against Lipscomb. Since the move, both Gonzalez and Harker have been on fire. Harker is hitting.433 since the move (26-for-60) and Gonzalez is at.318 (21-for-66), the top two marks on the team in that span. The pair have combined for eight doubles, nine RBIs, 24 runs scored and nine stolen bases in those 22 games alone. HOME SWEET HOME The Salukis are 7-4 at Charlotte West Stadium in 2015 despite dropping four-straight home games. SIU s 7-0 start was the fourth-best start at home without a loss since West Stadium was built prior to the 2003 season. Southern played its first 16 games away from Carbondale, going The next six games were at home, and SIU won them all to go over the.500 mark for the first time this year at after the Wichtia State series. SIU is in 11+ seasons at Charlotte West Stadium, which includes a 12-7 mark last season. Southern has a winning record in all 11 seasons it has played at West Stadium; with five home games remaining on the schedule this season, SIU is just two home wins away from extending that streak to 12. SALUKIS REBOUND TO SNAP SIUE S 10-GAME WINNING STREAK Southern Illinois had a six-game winning streak to start MVC play 6-0 for the first time since 2010, marking the ninth time in the last 12 years SIU has had at least a six-game Valley winning streak at some point in MVC play. Murray State snapped the streak with a 6-4 mid-week win, and then Northern Iowa swept the Salukis in three run-rule games. SIU rebounded to beat SIUE, snapping the Cougars 10- game winning streak.

Seven of the top eight hitters this season by batting average return next year, and five of those seven are underclassmen. BERTELSEN SHINES AGAINST TOP COMPETITION SIU senior pitcher Katie Bertelsen has pitched her best games against the best competition throughout her career. Late last season, Bertelsen faced eventual MVC champion Wichita State, which led the league in 10 offensive categories. Bertelsen shut down the Shockers in a 2-1, allowing WSU to go just 4-for-24 against her. Against No. 5 Kentucky, which is coming off a Women s College World Series appearance, Bertelsen pitched one of her best games in 2015, allowing just two earned runs in a 5-2 loss. Against against Wichita State, this year s preseason MVC favorite, Bertelsen got all three wins in the series sweep. EVERYONE CONTRIBUTES All 17 players on SIU s roster played in its 8-6 win over Morehead State. All 14 position players have at least one start this year, and 16 of 17 players have started at least one game. The only player without a start is senior pitcher Alyssa Wunderlich, who has yet to give up an earned run in All 11 players with at least 11 at-bats has recorded at least two hits. HARRE: AS COOL AS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PILLOW SIU super sophomore Shaye Harre has been clutch for the Salukis in She showcased her two-way ability in Southern Illinois 4-3 win over UMBC on the opening day of the season. Harre pitched 5.2 innings, allowing only two earned runs, in relief to help SIU stay within striking distance. After the Salukis tied the game at three, Harre came up in the bottom of the seventh with a runner on second; and she hit a walkoff RBI single to complete her 3-for-4 day at the plate. DID YOU KNOW? Kalyn Harker s.442 batting average in MVC play ranks third in the league. Against Morehead State, the Salukis trailed by four in the seventh inning when Harre came to the plate with the bases loaded. She hit a game-tying grand slam ahead of Sydney Jones game-winning two-run home run. In the second game of the Bradley series, Harre came up in the eighth inning with the Salukis down a run, but she singled home the game-tying run. Then NOTES again in the 10th, Harre doubled to keep the inning alive, and SIU eventually won with a three-run 10th. In the middle game against Wichita State, Harre again led off the final inning with a double, which became the game-winning run on Brook Womack s walk-off RBI single.

BERTELSEN LEADS PITCHERS IN 2014 SIU senior Katie Bertelsen will lead the pitching staff in Bertelsen threw more than twice as many innings as any other pitcher on the staff in 2014, logging innings. Bertie won 14 games, including nine in MVC play. Fellow senior Alyssa Wunderlich and sophomore Shaye Harre also return after seeing time at pitcher in Wunderlich led the team in ERA in 2012 and got three wins in 33 innings last year. Harre also won three games and pitched 44 innings for the Salukis last season. Freshman Savanna Dover is expected to be a heavy contributer right away. The newcomer threw four career no-hitters in high school and pitched a fiveinning no-no in the fall season. GONZALEZ HAS BREAKOUT SOPH SEASON SIU junior captain Kelsey Gonzalez is coming off a breakout sophomore season. Gonzalez started all 52 games in her freshman year and hit.210. Last season, Gonzalez hit.328 in 47 starts and 51 total games. She hit at nearly every spot in the lineup and ended the year in the middle of the lineup. She earned MVC Player of the Week honors after she slugged.933 against Wichita State. She had two doubles, two home runs, six RBIs and 14 total bases in leading Southern to a series win over the eventual MVC champion Shockers. HARRE HAS MONSTER FRESHMAN SEASON Shaye Harre was immediately a force in the middle of the lineup for SIU as a freshman. She was second on the team in 2014 with a.329 average and hit an even better.368 in MVC play. She led the team with 43 RBIs, second in program history among freshman. Her on-base percentage, RBIs, doubles and walks all ranked among the top 10 in the MVC. Harre joined Bertelsen as a second-team All-MVC honoree after the season. TEAM OVERVIEW SIU is replacing five starting positional players this year. Last year s starters included four spots around the infield (C, 1B, 2B, 3B) and one outfielder. Jayna Spivey, last year s second baseman, was a four-time All-MVC player and led the team in hitting last year with a.337 average. Southern returns four of its top five hitters and the team s No. 1 pitcher, Katie Bertelsen. Shaye Harre (.329), Kelsey Gonzalez (.328) and Kalyn Harker (.313) all return after hitting better than.300 last year. Freshman Sydney Jones and sophomore Jessa Thomas are splitting time at the catcher spot, while Jones and Kara Kimball have been splitting time at third base.
