Saturday's game was a low scoring affair, finishing at 4-3. The Rattlers scored from two home runs, but two runs scored by Eastern Illinois off an error in the first inning proved to be the difference. FAMU was shut out in the final game of the series, 3-0.

Ty Hanchey leads the team in OBP at .692 after four hits and five walks in 13 plate appearances. Jared Weber has gone yard three times already this season and posted six RBIs through the first three games.
