COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - The time has finally come for the Tennessee Tech baseball team to take a week off from Ohio Valley Conference play, something that each team in the league does each season. Tech will still play a tough non-conference slate, however, beginning with East Tennessee State on Wednesday.

The Golden Eagles will host the Buccaneers in a 6 p.m. CDT contest that will feature a unique story line. East Tennessee State is the only team to shutout the Golden Eagles this season, winning 3-0 in an April 2 match-up in Johnson City. Tech will look to extend its five-game winning streak while also exacting a spot of revenge.

Junior right hander Garrett Baugh (3-1) will take the hill against the Bucs, facing off against Kameron Miller (0-1), a right-handed freshman making his second career start.
