Jeff Stowell, a psychology professor the current vice chair of the Faculty Senate, discussed a shared governance proposal during a meeting Tuesday. Stowell was voted to keep his position for the upcoming school year, while philosophy professor Grant Sterling was voted to take over the position of senate chair and biological sciences professor Billy Hung was voted to become the senate recorder.
Themes of familial and other relationships will be presented through the play “Brighton Beach Memoirs,” set to open at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. “Brighton Beach Memoirs” is a story that follows a 15-year-old boy named Eugene as he grows up in 1937 Brooklyn. Eugene learns about family, girls, relationships and the impending war. Throughout the play, he learns many things about life and the need for family by interacting with his Polish-Jewish relatives. AJ Lingad, a sophomore theatre arts major who plays Eugene, said his character is in an interesting position, as he is also the narrator.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chicago's City Council set to 'water down' body armor ban CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago's City Council is expected to water down its ban on most residents wearing body armor after criticism that it could put people, such as 7-Eleven store clerks in crime-ridden neighborhoods, in danger. The ban, which experts say is the most restrictive in the United States, was passed last month in the wake of the shooting death of a respected police commander, allegedly by a convicted felon wearing body armor. "We are going to revisit it (because) we realize you have a guy working in a 7-Eleven in a tough neighborhood who might have a legitimate reason to want one," said Alderman Patrick O'Connor, one of the co-sponsors of the ban. "I mean, you have these companies selling kids' backpacks that have them (bulletproof plates) in them, so if I am a law-abiding citizen and I want to wear body armor, why in the world shouldn't I be able to?" The City Council on Wednesday is expected to add exemptions for journalists when they are out covering stories and actors who need body armor as props to a list of exemptions that already includes police officers, emergency responders, firefighters and a few others. The revised ordinance
would also delay enforcement for 120 days to allow state lawmakers time to consider a bill that would toughen penalties for people who commit crimes while wearing body armor. Though the expected revisions do not include the shopkeepers O'Connor said he was concerned about, he said the hope is the delay will give the state enough time to craft a bill that would protect them. If it does not, he said the council would once again discuss expanding the ordinance to allow more people to legally wear body armor in the city. Almost immediately after the measure was passed last month, the blowback began. "If there is a need for it somewhere, we don't want to be an obstacle for those peoples' safety," said Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who was a close friend of Paul Bauer, the police commander fatally shot in February. Johnson said that there is proposed legislation before state lawmakers that "is addressing that exact issue." The Chicago ordinance, which mentions Bauer by name, warns of "the "insurmountable threat" faced by city residents if "felons and others potential offenders continue to acquire such protection ..."
Mass shootings carried out by people wearing body armor have also made authorities increasingly worried about stopping heavily armed gunmen. The shooter in the 2012 shooting in an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater wore body armor, and the man who killed 49 people at an Orlando, Florida, nightclub in 2016 had recently tried to buy it. Like other cities, Chicago has been rattled by recent mass shootings, particularly after the news that the man who gunned down 58 people in Las Vegas last fall had months earlier booked a room — but never stayed — at a Chicago hotel that overlooks a park where a music festival is held that draws hundreds of thousands. While the number of gun deaths has been dropping in Chicago over the last year, 2017 still ended with 650 homicides and in some neighborhoods there were more homicides than entire cities, including one on the West Side that saw more homicides than the entire city of San Francisco. Chicago, which has been forced to weaken what were once among the toughest gun laws in the nation as courts have ruled against the city, is being watched closely by gun rights advocates.
Trump bashes California on participation in border control SAN DIEGO (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday slammed California Gov. Jerry Brown's posture on sending National Guard troops to the Mexican border even as Brown said he was nearing agreement on joining the president's mission. The volley of words came a day after federal officials said Brown rejected a proposal for the California Guard's specific border duties, a characterization that state officials disputed. Brown's office responded with a tweet reiterating its public stance that
nothing has changed since the governor pledged 400 troops last week and that the state was waiting on a response to proposed contract that would include a ban on any activities related to immigration enforcement. The Democratic governor said California was "pretty close" to an agreement with the administration to join the nation's three other Mexican border states — Arizona, New Mexico and Texas — for the Guard's third large-scale border deployment since 2006. Brown expressed strong interest
in work against drug and gun smuggling and human trafficking, noting that the California Guard already had about 50 troops near the border on such efforts. Brown has conditioned his contribution of 400 troops on avoiding any immigration work, even in a supporting role. Talks with the federal government on what specific jobs that would entail are ongoing. It is unclear how troops would distinguish work related on immigration from drug smuggling and other crimes.
Ill. Senate approves changes to workers' compensation policies SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Illinois Senate has approved restrictions on insurance companies writing workers' compensation policies. The plan that passed 34-21 Tuesday is identical to one Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed last year. The Republican has complained for years that workers' compensation costs prevent economic growth. Democrats point out they restricted payouts and rules on worker injuries in 2011 but insurance companies haven't lowered premiums accordingly. Chicago Democratic Sen. Kwame Raoul's bill requires insurers writing workers' comp policies to file intended rates with the state and justify requested changes. Benefits would depend on a causal connection between work and injury and tighter guidelines would determine a worker's disability. Rauner spokeswoman Rachel Bold says Raoul's bill is not "real" reform. But she says Rauner hopes for a bipartisan fix to the system's flaws.
Chicago's Art Institute gets historic donation CHICAGO (AP) — The Art Institute of Chicago has received two donations totaling $70 million, including a $50 million gift that amounts to the largest monetary donation in the museum's history. The museum announced the donations Tuesday. The $50 million unrestricted gift comes from museum trustee Janet Duchossois and her husband. Another $20 million came from board chairman Robert Levy and his wife to be used for operations and acquisitions. The Chicago Tribune reports that Art Institute President James Rondeau says there are no specific, immediate plans for the new money. Rondeau says the "gifts are allowing us to now start to conceive what our future might look like, rather than specifically funding an existing plan." Before Tuesday, the museum's largest cash gift was a $35 million donation in 2015 from late Massachusetts collector Dorothy Braude Edinburg.

Sprint to the finish
JORDAN BOYER | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Students, several of which are on the Eastern men’s cross country and track teams, run through the South Quad and in between Klehm and Lumpkin Halls Tuesday afternoon.
Career Services to hold workshop about job offers Staff Report | @DEN_News Career Services is offering a workshop to help students learn “What to Know BEFORE you accept the job offer” at 4 p.m. Wednesday. Included in this will be advice in exploring factors to consider when making the decision. The last workshop of the semester is set for the following day. Scheduled for 4 p.m Thursday, “Cover Letters 101” will teach students how to target their skills with employers’ needs. The News desk can be reached at 581-2812 or dennewsdesk@gmail.com.
DNA: Ties that Bind set for Wednesday By Andrew Paisley Campus Reporter | @Andrew_Paisley1 An introduction of DNA genetic testing will be available at “DNA: Ties that Bind,” a lecture held from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at Charleston Carnegie Public Library. The lecture, hosted by Eastern’s Academy of Lifelong Learning and taught by Lois Dickenson, a genealogist at the library, will cover the basics of DNA testing. “The main purpose of the course is to teach the participants why one would want to do a DNA test,” Dickenson said. “We will also learn about the different kinds of DNA tests, their meanings and their limitations.” In today’s world, DNA testing is popular for genealogical purposes, and many websites are now offering DNA kits, Dickenson said.
The idea to have the lecture came from the board of directors of the library during a planning meeting. “Many people may think that the course is strictly for genealogists or people who do their own family history,” Dickenson said. “This is open to the public, and I know there are several people who are just generally interested.” Marita Metzke, the project coordinator at the academy, said two of the most popular sites that are offering DNA testing are Ancestry and 23andMe. Ancestry announced that it has tested more than seven million people, including two million during the last few months of 2017 alone. Metzke said genealogy services are becoming popular because of all they have to offer as far as DNA and genetic testing. “People have responded to the test availability and competitive pricing by the millions,”
Metzke said. “Advertising has been very successful in capturing a broad audience. I have been waiting for this class to decide what service to use and what I really want to learn.” Dickenson said she wants people to know that genealogy is not the only reason people can do DNA testing. “I think that a lot of people have so many questions about the purpose of DNA testing and why it is a prominent part of genealogy research,” Dickenson said. “In the course, I want to teach the participants that it is not just about genealogy and that anyone can do a DNA test.” To register for the course, participants can contact Metzke at academy@eiu.edu. Andrew Paisley can be reached at 581-2812 or at abpaisley@eiu.edu.

JALEN MASSIE | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
STAFF EDITORIAL
It is time to fight that end of semester fatigue The time is now. We have been waiting too long, if we have been waiting. It is the second-to-last week of school. The storm has been brewing under our noses, and we have not started preparing because, as students and as procrastinators, we do not respond to the call of action until the first strike of lightning. But we cannot afford to wait any longer. It is go time. If you have to fight for your grades, warming the bench is not going to help you at all. It may be too late to do anything drastic, but there are still strides you can make in the right direction. Go to class. We have written about this time and time again, so we may sound like a broken
record, but it is so easy. If this hasn’t been a problem for you, then you should have a fairly decent cushion going into finals. If not, we cannot guarantee this will make a significant change, but going to the last 8 days of classes will certainly not hurt you in any way. Find a tutor. The best way to help yourself while also helping a fellow student or expert is to find someone on campus who will tutor you. If they do not already charge a low hourly late, throwing them some cash would be the best way to show your gratitude for their part in helping you out of the hole you may have dug for yourself. Help a student trying to earn some extra pocket change and help yourself get a step closer to a better grade. Study harder than you ever have before. You
play how you practice, and if your practice this semester has not gotten you very far, then you aren’t going to play well in the final. There are several directions you can approach studying. Some people rely on flash cards, while others can simply skim their notes. We can only tell you so much about how to study because it all is up to you to determine what is best for you, but we can point you in several right directions. Call ahead of time and reserve a study room at the library. That way, you have a private island to yourself, fully equipped with a large table to hold your notes and a dry erase board to scribble away on. Find a secluded spot in the library you haven’t been to before or find a new place entirely. That way you have a fresh place you can associate with buckling down and get-
ting stuff done. And if all that doesn’t work, go to your professor’s office hours. You do not have to get down on your knees and plead, but it could not hurt to ask them if there is any extra credit hiding among the dark clouds of the storm you ignored for so long. And hey, it never hurts to shed a few tears. Not saying it will work, but it could help you stall while you think of a reason why you deserve a chance for more points. But in all seriousness, get it together. Get out of bed, turn off Netflix and try your hardest to finish the semester in a way that you feel accurately reflects who you want to be as a student, professional and person. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Top 7 times corporations dunked on America I don’t really have anything to say this week, so here’s a fun primer on America’s abusive relationship with corporations in the form of a listicle. 1. The time half the country decided the actor Ronald Reagan would make a good president Yeah yeah, I know we’ve got some Reagan lovers out there. But he’s the first on this list for a reason. Reaganomics, the third biggest prank ever pulled on white people (nobody else fell for it), started the deregulation that led to pretty much everything else on this list. It’s also why your factory job is in China and you’re addicted to painkillers. 2. The time Wall Street decided you could bundle American homeowners’ subprime mortgages into a new product and sell it in completely unregulated markets This one is funny, because it’s obvious Wall Street was just making up the rules as they went. I mean yeah, lots of people lost their homes and futures, and no one responsible went to jail, but you’re going to get used to that theme by the end of this list. As someone who lost nothing in the 2007 financial crash, the entire thing was an entertaining farce from beginning to end. This is where we learned the phrase “Too Big to Fail,” which is terrifying when you realize they weren’t lying to us and it was actually true. This is also where middle class people
Colin Roberts playing the stock market learned that the stock market was not meant for middle class people. 3. Citizens United This case proved that although this future may not be the one we wanted, it’s exactly the one we deserve. Citizens United allowed corporations to dump unlimited money into influencing political policy, and political advocacy groups could do the same. Now, when I donate to a candidate, I’m able to spare about fifty bucks. When Koch Industries or whatever George Soros is in charge of wants to donate, they drop a couple hundred million. I shouldn’t have to explain any further why this is a bad for democracy. 4. The time Amazon decided human worth was about $4 Remember when Amazon punished warehouse workers for “idle time” if they took too
long going to the bathroom? Remember when this led to warehouse workers peeing in bottles? The list of creative ways Amazon has bled its workers dry is long. Now, based on my past reader response, I know there are some with little sympathy for the working poor. They just need to work harder, after all. But at the same time, instead of explaining why Amazon seems to actively try to burn through human bodies, I’ll just invite you spend a week at one of their warehouses. They’re everywhere after all. You don’t even have to pick a busy season. That only correlates to how quickly you’ll have to find another job with health insurance. 5. The time Silicon Valley built a future where we were the products, then got confused when everyone got mad that their tech empires were ruining our lives I can list on my hand the number of Silicon Valley Bros that have not used their massive wealth and influence to take complete and utter advantage of their users. The number is zero. From Twitter dropping the ball with election meddling, to Facebook selling our identities but still managing to get outsmarted by Cambridge Analytica, there is no end to the blatant manipulations of the tragically inept tech barons. As a side note, Facebook donated to 47 of the 53 lawmakers questioning Mark Zuckerberg during the Facebook hearings. Ain’t that
a bitch. 6. The time the GOP passed the biggest tax cut in history, managing to unilaterally destroy any chance of the middle class had of ever reappearing I know, both sides are spinning this one pretty hard, so I’m going to have to break down some basic economics for you. Are you a major corporation that wanted a repeal to alternative minimum taxes? Congratulations, you won! Are you a small business owner, or perhaps an individual making under two-hundred thousand dollars a year? Go jump off a bridge. 7. The time corporate America stopped caring what happened to your personal information I’m going to list everyone who had a data breach that resulted in at least one million Americans being compromised: Equifax, Target, AOL, Card Systems Solutions, Citigroup, Home Depot, JP Morgan Chase, Michaels, Monster.com, Yahoo, Bank of America and let’s stop there. I know this week’s article may seem a bit of a downer, and I don’t mean it to come off that way. At the same time, how often do you have to get kicked in the stomach, America before you’re going to do something? It’s a slow death, and it’s hard to watch. Colin Roberts is a senior English major. He can be reached at 581-2128 or clroberts@eiu.edu.

Senate
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We’d have a closer communication between the Faculty Senate and these important committees, (but) what I do worry about is the workload involved,” Hung said. “It (would) tax the service capacity of our faculty, to say the least.” Stowell said it would be more work, but he does not think it would be asking too much of the senators. “I would argue that it more evenly balances the service workload across the committees, that for example at Faculty Senate, there could be those that just come every couple weeks and have important discussions and commitments and comments, but (CAA, CGS, COTE, CASL) are the workhorses of our university, and I think if we are going to (expect better communication), then we got to be willing to invest something in them ourselves,” Stowell said. The senate voted in favor of creating an ad hoc implementation committee to help Stowell investigate the best ways to implement the plan campus-wide. This committee is staffed by C.C. Wharram, director of the Center for Humanities,
»
and music professor Stefan Eckert. Faculty Senator Teshome Abebe, an economics professor, voiced more concerns about the provost’s proposed college restructuring, specifically his plan to combine the College of Arts and Humanities with the College of Sciences to create the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “I think I am the only one on campus that has some issues with the proposal. Everyone I talk to, including my senate colleagues, seems to think this is fine, it’s good. And I have no objection to it from a philosophical point of view,” Abebe said. “I still think that the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is too big. When I look at the program evaluation that (Eastern President David Glassman) started a few months ago, and the interception of Faculty Senate did a very good job to correct some of those problems, I look at those programs that have been identified for some kind of action, now populating that huge college. When is the promise of changing the status of those programs going to happen?” Gatrell said he thinks the combination
will allow for more collaboration and will not put programs previously labeled as needing to be enhanced or adjusted at risk of being buried. “I see the creation of the liberal arts and sciences college as a real opportunity to celebrate new intersections between arts and sciences, but also to create, in some ways, a unit that is robust and has a complex mix of programs that I think are mutually informing,” Gatrell said. “It also avoids the creation of a very small unit with lots of small programs that might be on that list.” At its last meeting on May 3 from 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., the senate will discuss an appropriate response to the restructuring plan. Also at the meeting, philosophy professor Grant Sterling was elected as the Faculty Senate chair for the upcoming school year, Stowell will keep his position as vice chair and Hung will become the senate recorder.
“If I had to pick something, though, I think going through tech week is one of the most exciting times of any production,” he said. “It’s when all the elements of the show start coming together to make one cohesive piece, and the story we are portraying becomes so much more real.” Liz Phillips, a senior theatre arts major who plays Eugene’s mom, said she
has been friends with the cast for years. “We only got closer (through) this experience,” she said. Kevin Doolen, the play’s director and department chair for theatre arts, said he directed and coached the actors to play characters who are a part of a multi-dimensional family who face daily struggles while maintaining their humor and love.

Play
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I think like most teenagers going through puberty, Eugene is very curious and has hopes and dreams in life,” Lingad said. Lingad does not have a particular part of the production process that he considers his favorite. Instead, he said he is just grateful to have the opportunity to grow as an actor after every rehearsal.
“My focus as a director is always on creating truth on the stage, complexity of character relationships and characters that serve the play’s story,” Doolen said. Connor Lewis, a senior theatre arts major playing Stanley, Eugene’s eldest brother, said he wants the audience to realize though families have their ups and downs, nothing has to tear them apart.
“When push comes to shove, we all come together in the end,” he said. Tickets can be bought at the Doudna Box Office for $13 general admission, $11 for senior citizens and $5 for students.

Men’s tennis seniors excited for OVC tournament By Vince Lovergine Men’s Tennis Reporter | @DEN_Sports For the first time in their careers, Eastern men’s tennis seniors Grant and Trent Reiman, and Jared Woodson will part take in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament. The Panthers clinched their first tournament berth in four years with a 4-3 win over Tennessee State. Eastern has not made an appearance since 2014, when it lost to Austin Peay 4-3 in the first round. The Panthers rank sixth in the OVC and they will play No. 3 Jacksonville State in the opening round at 8 a.m. Friday. The winner of this match will go on to face Tennessee Tech on Saturday. Eastern lost to the Gamecocks 7-0 earlier this spring. For Trent Reiman, the opportunity to be in the tournament is a great feeling. “It feels awesome, it’s no better way to go out on a bang with the guys,” he said. “We’re going to give to our all and I’m definitely looking forward to it.” Trent Reiman said even if they do not win, they can still go out working hard and working together. "That’ll be the main thing that’ll make me most happy,” he said. As for Grant Reiman he also cannot wait to see what the tournament brings him. “It’s just super exciting there’s no better time than senior year and we’re just going to enjoy the moment,” Grant Reiman said. Grant Reiman said not having the experience of competing in the tournament will not faze him. “I’m not too sure what to expect, I’m ready for it, we’re going to leave it all out there, have no regrets on the court, cheer on our teammates, and I think will do some great things,” he said.

Senior Trent Reiman sends a forehand over the net in his singles match against Belmont March 30 at the Darling Courts. Eastern starts the OVC Tournament later this week.
Lastly, for Woodson, the goal since he has been an Eastern tennis player was to make the tournament every year, and it is finally happening. “It’s a great feeling,” he said. “The fact we were able to accomplish that goal for this year, it’s incredible for us.” Eastern coach Sam Kercheval, who became head coach for the men three years ago, said it is going to be great for the seniors.
“Making the conference tournament has been one of the goals since I got here. We fell just short each of the last two years, so to get there is definitely a great feeling,” Kercheval said. “The last time out team made it, our seniors were in high school, so it’s great they can get there before they move on.” Before the season winds down, Kercheval also said once the seniors leave, he wants to the team to stay driven.
“They need to know it’s not a given,” he said. “They can’t take it for granted. It will be a good experience for them to see it, but then they need to want more for themselves and their teammates in the future. We need to be happy but stay hungry, so we can put ourselves in a similar or better position next year.” Vince Lovergine can be reached at 581-2812 or vplovergine@eiu.edu.

Four-run inning downs baseball team By Tom O’Connor Baseball Reporter | @DEN_Sports Through four shutout innings, freshman Blake Malatestinic provided the momentum for a third win in the past four games. But a four-run seventh inning for Butler, marked by three singles and a double, would syphon out this efficiency in a 6-3 Eastern loss in which neither team scored the first four innings. Malatestinic, who came into the game with a 9.31 ERA, gave up one earned run, while allowing five hits and a walk in five innings. “Any time you are putting zeroes up on the board that’s what you are supposed to do, and he kept us in it,” Anderson said. “That was going to be the last hitter he was going to face and he happened to hit a home run off of him.” After the Panthers pulled Malatestinic in the wake of senior Tyler Houston’s home run, senior Dustin Wilson and senior Jake Haberer, two of five Eastern pitchers to take the mound Tuesday, gave up an assortment of five runs off six hits in the sixth and seventh. “Defensive pitching has to show up big every game and the pitching got us through five,” Anderson said. “We just don’t have the offense to recover from it.” A double from Butler sophomore Duncan Hewitt would become a goad to his teammates in the seventh. Houston lined one up the middle, sending in Hewitt for the go-ahead run, before sophomore Harrison Freed and Connor Christman reached base on ensuing at-bats. “That inning we didn’t pitch bad, but we walked the guys we could have gotten out to get to the better hitters,” Anderson said. “It’s just a bad way to play

baseball.” Butler sophomore Zach Jarosz and senior Gehrig Parker, who both walked that inning, have hit .185 and .290, respectively this season. Redshirt junior Tyler Tesmond
launched a ball over the right center field fence in the bottom of the fifth, pushing the Panthers ahead to take a 1-0 lead. On the first pitch of the sixth inning, however, Houston hit a home run to left
center, tying the game at one. Positioned in ninth in the standings, Eastern holds a tenuous lead over Southern Illinois-Edwardsville in the Ohio Valley Conference and, if the season ended today, the Panthers would
not be eligible for the tournament. Up next, the Panthers play host to Illinois State Wednesday. Tom O’Connor can be reached at 581-2812 or troconnor@eiu.edu.
Softball team loses against SIUE on 2 walk offs By Sean Hastings Sports Editor| @DEN_Sports In game one of the Eastern softball team’s doubleheader against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, the Panthers took a three-run lead into the seventh just to see it slip away and lose 5-4 on a walk-off single by Kalei Kaneshiro. Fast-forward seven innings into game two, and a different story, same outcome. Eastern scored two runs in the top of the seventh to tie it at four, just to have Southern Illinois-Edwardsville win on a passed ball. Eastern extended its lead in the seventh inning off freshman Morgan Lamore’s single to score junior Mady Poulter. Lamore drove in two runs in the loss. The Panthers were rolling in game one as senior pitcher Jessica Wireman had given up just four hits and struck out nine. But as soon as the seventh inning came, the wheels fall off the wagon. The Cougars quickly put two runners on off a leadoff single and a walk. Wireman struck out the next batter, but allowed a two-run double right after, then an RBI single, bringing in senior Michelle Rogers to pitch. Rogers got one out, but then hit a batter, then Kaneshiro came through and drove in the winning run. “We controlled the first game for six innings and played pretty well,” coach Kim Schuette said. “Unfortunately, the game is not six innings.” Eastern has not lost much this

year, losing just their 10th and 11th games and third in conference, but the three conference losses have come late in the game. Both of Tuesday’s losses ended in the last inning, but the Panthers’ loss to Tennessee-Martin over the weekend featured a blown three-run
lead in the fourth. Eastern led 3-0 in that game, but the Skyhawks scored four straight runs, with the last coming in the sixth to beat the Panthers and hand them their first OVC loss of the season. Offensively, sophomore Hal-
ey Mitchell continued her stellar season going 3-3 at the plate with a home run and a walk. And the freshman duo of Lamore and Megan Burton drove in the other three runs. Eastern, for a moment, put the walk off in the first game behind it
as it came out and scored in the top of the first inning as Poulter drove in junior Kayla Bear, who singled right before. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville pitcher Corrina Rivas retired the next three Panther hitters, setting up the Cougars to score in the bottom half and tie it at one. After giving up the walk off single in game one (run was charged to Wireman, as well as the loss), Rogers got the start in game two. Rogers gave up one run in the first inning, but pitched three scoreless, where the Cougars crossed the plate twice in the fifth, once in the sixth and the game- winner in the seventh. Mitchell and junior Maria DeVito evened up the score in the seventh inning off a single and a fielder’s choice. “Game two we hit some balls hard, but right at their defense,” Schuette said. “Unfortunately we were chasing them game two. We fought our way back to tie it, but overall, we didn’t play well enough to win.” She said mistakes, base running, pitching, catching the ball and judging the ball hurt them and led to the Cougars’ runs. In five of Eastern’s seven OVC wins this season, four runs would have been enough for Eastern to win the game as Wireman and Rogers have been limiting opposing offenses to two runs per game.
