DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern returns home in search of needed wins to climb back into the mix for the Great American Conference postseason tournament and will host Harding for a three game series March 31 through April 1 at The Ballpark in Durant.
 
With weather slated to come in as the weekend progresses, Friday will feature a double-header slated for a noon first pitch with the final contest set for April 1 at noon.
 
The next win is also of added importance to head coach Mike Metheny because that win will put him alone atop the NCAA Division II All-Time Wins list.
 
SE is 3-3 over its last two series, taking two of three at home from Henderson State, but dropping the final two games of a road series at Ouachita Baptist.
 
The Storm have picked up the offensive pace over the last two weeks, with five runs being the lowest output in a contest and twice reaching the 10 run mark.
 
Hunter Harrison has boosted his average to .329 to lead the team while also leading the way with six doubles, six homers and 23 RBI.
 
Brett Akins is also north of the .300 mark at .309 with 10 RBI.
 
Mike Wade leads the team's starters with a 2-1 record and a 3.41 ERA, while Brandon Wolski has collected both of the team's saves.
 
Chris Taylor is the only Bison hitter over the .300 mark at .31, while Luke VanDover leads the team with three home runs and 15 RBI.
 
Reed Roberts leads the starters with a 4-3 record, while Mason Faulkner and Raiff Beever each have four saves.
