(STATS) -- Less than 72 hours after one of the biggest victories in Eastern Illinois history, coach Kim Dameron was eying another potential triumph that would be even greater -- at least in his mind.Scoring 14 unanswered points in the final four minutes to stun FBS member Miami (Ohio) 21-17 last weekend snapped a 10-game nonconference losing streak for the Panthers (1-1). However, a road victory over rival Illinois State on Saturday could mean more to the program.I would say this would be a much bigger win -- even than Miami -- to beat Illinois State, Dameron said. In-state rival, top 5 FCS team and a member of the Missouri Valley that has been a dominant conference.Weve got our work cut out for us. Were looking to forward to the challenge this week.Though the ISU (2-0) has won three straight and six of the last seven home meetings of this appropriately dubbed Mid-American Classic, it needed overtime to win 34-31 in last seasons 104th installment between the perennial Ohio Valley and Missouri Valley Football Conference powers. Sean Slatterys 32-year field goal in the extra session gave the Redbirds a second consecutive overall victory in the series, and his 33-yard boot as time expired last Saturday sent them to an impressive 9-7 victory over Northwestern.On the heels of that upset, Illinois State moved up to fifth in the latest STATS FCS Top 25. Eastern Illinois remains just outside of the Top 25, but knows a victory in Normal will only help its perception on a national level.Its not going to get any easier, Dameron said. Were going to try to put our best foot forward.Weve got to continue to get better, continue to get the program better.Perhaps the biggest challenge this week facing players and coaches from both ISU and EIU was dealing with all the attention from their respective upsets. The calls and texts were plenty for Redbirds coach Brock Spack, making it a little difficult at times to keep the focus on preparing for this rivalry matchup.We all know what goes on in that game, Spack said of facing Eastern.I would be surprised if our team didnt handle the success maturely. But Ive been surprised before. ... (We) have a lot of poise, a lot of belief. We have to be better than we were last week to win the game.Illinois State totaled 372 yards against the Wildcats, but only 85 on the ground after running up 271 in a 50-13 rout of Valparaiso. However, it yielded 277 total yards against the Big Ten Wildcats and just 407 while giving up one offensive touchdown through two games.Our kids were really tough mentally and physically (against Northwestern), Spack said. It was really great to see. ... It just felt like we belonged.Spacks group could see improved production running ball against an Eastern squad thats allowed 390 rushing yards this season and gave up four touchdowns on the ground in a 38-21 opening loss to a Western Illinois team currently ranked 16th.Offensively, Syracuse transfer Mitch Kimble has thrown for 473 yards and five TDs but should be in for a severe test against the talented Redbirds defense.I thought we made improvements from Week 1 to Week 2, which is something we had to do, Dameron said. Im happy about that but we still got a long way to go in a lot of areas.This is one of three OVC-MVFC crossover matchups Saturday as Southeast Missouri State will host Indiana State and Murray State visits Southern Illinois.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The way the San Francisco Giants are going these days, even a solid outing from their four-time All-Star and staff ace wasnt much help.Jay Bruce homered in his career-high fifth straight game, connecting off Madison Bumgarner and leading Dan Straily and the Cincinnati Reds over the slumping Giants 2-1 on Wednesday.The NL West leaders got just four hits and lost for the ninth time in 11 games since the All-Star break. The last-place Reds are 8-4 over that stretch.This is the way the game goes sometimes, Bumgarner said. Especially right now with this tough stretch weve been in, things have gotten magnified. Its unfortunate but we just have to keep coming out and battle them.Bruce connected for his 25th homer of the season. His sixth home run during his five-game streak broke a 1-all tie in the seventh inning.Hes an ace in every sense of the word. When he gives you something to hit, youve got to do something with it, and I was able to do that today, Bruce said. He really made one mistake all day and I was able to hit a home run. You really have to be aggressive with him. Hes a strike-thrower, hes going to be around the plate and hes going to make you put the ball in play. I was able to put a good swing on the ball and not miss it.Bumgarner (10-6) allowed one earned run and five hits in eight innings, striking out nine.Its disappointing when you have Bum throw the ball the way he did today, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. He gave up five hits and couldnt get a win. We just couldnt figure out Straily. We couldnt generate much offensively and its disappointing when you have your starter throw like that.We just couldnt get it going. Its a tough one, he said.The Giants have lost six of Bumgarners last eight starts. He hasnt had much run support of late, with the Giants scoring 10 runs in his last five games.Were trying to score as many runs for him as we can, Giants catcher Buster Posey said. It stinks and we have to find a way to get back on track.Straily (6-6) gave up three hits in 7 2/3 innings. He struck out five in his longest outing of the seasonn.dddddddddddd Straily improved to 2-0 in his career against Bumgarner.Definitely, you take pride in battling against the best in baseball, Straily said. Its no different than any other game, but when it happens on a day like today it makes it a little more special.Tony Cingrani pitched a scoreless ninth for his 12th save.Conor Gillaspie hit a solo homer for the Giants in the second.San Francisco left fielder Angel Pagan dropped a flyball in the fifth, setting up Tucker Barnharts tying sacrifice fly.The ball was hit hard, a tough play, Bochy said. I dont know if he lost it in the sun, He almost made a great catch, too.Pagan singled leading off the ninth but was forced out at second when shortstop Zack Cozart robbed Mac Williamson with a nice grab on a ball hit up the middle.If Williamsons ball gets in, its a different game, Bochy said. We would have had first and third there, but their shortstop made a great play on the ball.Joey Votto had two of the Reds six hits, extending his hitting streak to 12 games. Hes batting .500 (20 for 40) over that stretch.Brandon Belt was 0 for 2 with a walk, snapping his 11-game hitting streak against the Reds.
