Drury Softball will close out its home regular season slate by playing host to Wisconsin-Parkside on Saturday and Lewis on Sunday in Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheaders at Thompson Field in Meador Park.

Saturday's noon start for the twinbill marks the annual "Strike Out Cancer" day for the Panthers (15-31, 8-18 in the GLVC), with the DU squad wearing pink jerseys and socks and fans invited to come out to the mound in pre-game festivities (11:50 a.m.) to throw out a ceremonial first pitch in honor of a friend or loved one who's battled cancer. 

Sunday's noon twinbill will be highlighed by post-game festivities honoring the team's seniors.

Wisconsin-Parkside comes into Thompson with records of 8-36 overall and 5-21, while Lewis will take marks of 17-28 and 6-20 into a Saturday doubleheader at Missouri S&T before visiting the Panthers on Sunday.

Kaeli Smith is hitting .322 with three homers and 24 RBIs and Kari Hillenburg is batting .288 with 22 runs and 22 stolen bases (in 23 tries) to lead the DU offense, while Shelby Weissenbach is 10-15 with a 3.19 ERA to top the pitching staff.
