CARBONDALE, Ill.-Southern Illinois (15-9) closes out a seven-game homestand Tuesday when it hosts Tennessee-Martin (5-16) at 2 p.m.

The Skyhawks are the third Ohio Valley Conference opponent SIU faces in midweek action this season.

Currently, the Salukis have played two midweek games, and are 0-2 in those contests after falling to Murray State (7-5) on Mar. 2 and SE Missouri State (7-3) on Mar. 10.

SIU enters tomorrow's game on a three-game winning streak after sweeping Northern Iowa in its first Missouri Valley Conference series this past weekend.

Meanwhile, UTM has lost 10 of its last 11.

The Salukis are 14-3 all-time against UTM, and haven't lost to the Skyhawks since 2002.

Freshman Ryan Terry is scheduled to start on the mound for the Dawgs.
