HUNTSVILLE, Texas- The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks Softball team (1-3, 0-0) get set for a midweek road matchup against longtime rival Sam Houston State (3-2, 0-0) on Wednesday night in Huntsville.
Lumberjacks at a Glance:
The Lumberjacks will be looking to build off their opening weekend where they competed in the East Texas A&M Leadoff. The 'Jacks started the weekend off strong posting a 13-3 run-rule win in five innings over Texas Southern University where SFA started off strong scoring eight runs in the first two innings and never looking back. The win saw plenty of Lumberjacks get in on the offensive action as 10 different Lumberjacks recorded an RBI, 10 different Lumberjacks record a hit, and 10 different Lumberjacks score a run. Despite losing the last three games of the weekend, the 'Jacks offense scored at least three runs in every game of the leadoff and will now look to carry their offensive momentum on the road against rival Sam Houston State.
Bearkats at a Glance:
The Sam Houston State Bearkats will also be looking to get back in the win column on Wednesday evening at home as after winning their first three games of the season by outscoring their opponents 22-1 in those three games, the 'Kats have dropped their last two matches including a tough draw against no. 1 ranked Texas. The Bearkats will close out their season-opening six-game homestand against SFA and will be looking to keep their offense hot as they have scored 27 runs over the first five games of the homestand.
Scouting Report-Lumberjacks:
Kaylee Paul made an opening weekend statement for SFA last weekend at the East Texas A&M Leadoff as she went 9-12 at the plate and holds a .750 batting average, which ranks her second in the entire nation in that category. Paul's hits came at big moments for SFA as she also holds the team lead in RBIs with four, while tying Mikaelah Burkland for the team lead in runs with three each. Hope Lusk, Jamie Varga, Ella Hill, and Gabby Coffey brought the pop to the ballpark last weekend as Lusk recorded a pair of doubles, Varga knocked a pair of triples, and both Hill and Coffey went deep for their first homeruns as a Lumberjack. Alexis Telford picked up where she left off last season in the circle for SFA as she pitched to the tune of a sparkling 1.80 era over the weekend allowing just one earned run over 6.1 innings pitched.
Scouting Report-Bearkats:
Bella Perez and Brodie Quinlan have been mashing at the plate to open up the year for Sam Houston. Perez leads the team with a .462 batting average while adding on a double and a pair of homeruns to lead the team, while Quinlan has been just as solid as she has recorded a .438 average while adding on two doubles, a triple, and a homerun of her own to tie Perez for the team lead in RBIs with four. As a pitching staff, the Bearkats have started off strong as they hold a 2.33 team era, striking out 22 hitters in 33 innings as a staff.
Series:
Wednesday night's road matchup will continue this historic rivalry between these two schools as it will feature the 152nd all-time meeting with Sam Houston leading the all-time series 81-70. SFA, however, won the most recent meeting in unforgettable fashion as they plated 10 runs in the bottom of the sixth last season to stun the Wildcats and claim an 11-5 home victory.

The Bobcats are coming off the heels of a 47-win season last year and an appearance in the NCAA tournament, which helped them be the Preseason Coaches' Poll Favorite to win the Sun Belt this season.
Scouting Report-Bobcats:
Karmyn Bass has gotten off to a strong start at the plate for the Bobcats as she is 5-10 to begin the season with a triple and a pair of RBIs as well.
