The Dawgs have dropped 4 of their last 5, and have two straight games against first-place Loyola. So we thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a pep talk from Saluki Radio analyst and former longtime Saluki assistant and Southern Indiana head coach Rodney Watson, and he delivered.
SIU Baseball made history on Tuesday night with a 10-0 win over Austin Peay, tossing their first no-hitter since 1979 when Paul Evans pitched a 7-inning no-hitter. It's the first 9-inning no-no since 1953 when Paul Grandcolas no-hit Arkansas State. Mike Reis, the voice of the Salukis, caught up with skipper Lance Rhodes after the game, as well as the man who shut things down in the final frame, Kaden Peterson:
0:00 - Lance Rhodes
3:22 - Kaden Peterson

We talked to Saluki senior center Barret Benson about the Dawgs' current win streak, his history with the Mullins family, and his role as a senior leader on a club full of newcomers.

Saluki head football coach Nick Hill joined us after his club's big win at Indiana State on Saturday. Up next, it's a very special Senior Day as the Dawgs (7-3, 5-2) battle Youngstown State. A win gets them in the FCS Playoffs, and maybe a share of the MVFC title with some help elsewhere.
