Henderson State will attempt to end a five-game Great American Conference losing streak as the Reddies travel to Weatherford, Okla. to take on Southwestern Oklahoma in a three-game series beginning at 2 p.m. Friday.

The Reddies, 7-16 overall and 4-8 in the GAC, are coming off a non-conference double-header sweep of Union on Wednesday.

The Reddie pitching staff is attempting to overcome putting runners on base as the Henderson hurlers have walked 102 batters and hit 45 batters in 179 innings.

Colton Lorance, Jay Hawley and Dylan Howell will make up the Reddie rotation.

Lorance is 2-2 on the season with a 4.00 earned run average, while Hawley will be looking for his first win of the year. The freshman is 0-3 and sports a 5.02 ERA.

Howell is also winless having a 0-2 record but has the best ERA on the team at 3.09. Opponents have a .210 batting average against the rookie.

Southwestern Oklahoma is 11-8 overall and 5-4 in GAC play. The Bulldogs have won eight of their last nine games including a three-game sweep of Southern Nazarene.
