After playing six Ohio Valley Conference games last week, Southeast Missouri State University's softball team will see its only action of this week today when the Otahkians visit Charleston, Ill., for a 2:30 p.m. doubleheader with Eastern Illinois.
The Otahkians, 10-14 overall, are 4-2 in OVC play and in a virtual second-place tie with 2-1 Tennessee Tech, both trailing 7-1 Eastern Kentucky. Eastern Illinois is 4-17 overall and a last-place 1-5 in the OVC.
Southeast is led offensively by senior catcher Renee Enos, who is fourth in the OVC with a .365 batting average. Other top hitters for the Otahkians are Kemi Rampi (.297), Jenny Doehring (.296) and Brooke Nett (.286).
Doehring has been the Otahkians' top pitcher with an 8-6 record and 2.59 earned-run average.
Following today's action, the Otahkians will play their next nine games at home. During that homestand, Southeast coach Lana Richmond is likely to record her 600th career victory. She is 594-319 in her 19th season with the Otahkians.
