Baseball Returns to GLVC Play at Saint Joseph's
         The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville baseball team will try to snap a four-game losing streak when it travels to Saint Joseph's on Friday for the beginning of a three-game series with the Pumas.
         SIUE, 15-18 overall and 8-9 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, split a two-game series with Lincoln and was swept in a three-game series at Rockhurst. All five games were non-conference contests.
         Joe Wargo (Streator) saw his first action of the season at Lincoln. He hit .353 and scored five runs in the five games. He was also 3 for 4 in stolen base attempts.
         Jason Kessler (Mattoon) continues to lead the team in offense with a .377 batting average. David Briesacher (Waterloo) leads the pitching staff with four wins. Briesacher has posted a 2.68 ERA and is second on the team with 26 strikeouts.
         SIUE had a doubleheader scheduled for Wednesday at Quincy, but the games were moved to April 30 because of a scheduling conflict.
