All-Time Series: SFA Leads 18-3
SAN ANTONIO, Texas- The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks Softball team (13-15, 3-3 SLC) travel in-state to continue conference play as they travel to San Antonio to square off with the hosting University of the Incarnate Word Cardinals (14-11, 4-2 SLC).
Lumberjacks at a Glance:
The Lumberjacks will be looking to pick up their second conference series win of the season and get back in the win column after falling at home to the Sam Houston Bearkats on Wednesday evening to close out their four-game homestand. SFA will be looking to return to the form they showed against Lamar in their second conference series of the season as they rallied from a game one loss to the Cardinals to win the final two games of the series, scoring 13 runs between the two games to secure their first conference series win of the season. The SFA pitching staff tallied their second highest strikeout total of the season as Brooke Gainous and Reagan Hall combined to punch out seven Bearkats on Wednesday evening.
Cardinals at a Glance:
The Incarnate Word Cardinals return home for the first time in almost a month as they completed a lengthy eight-game road trip last weekend in Thibodaux as they took two of three from the Colonels to record their second conference series win of the season. The Cardinals bounced back from a 1-0 loss in the series opener to Nicholls with a 12-4 win, followed by a 5-2 win over their final two games of the series to improve their conference record to 4-2. Incarnate Word holds an 8-4 home record and 14-11 overall record this season.
Scouting Report-Lumberjacks:
Kaylee Paul continues to be a steady presence in the SFA lineup as she recorded a pair of hits in the Wednesday match against Sam Houston, as she continues to pace the team in batting average with a .415 average this season. Kyi'Marri Ester continues to stack the RBIs for the Lumberjacks as her 18 RBIs lead the team, while Ellie Vance continues to rack up the hits as her 37 hits lead all SFA hitters. Alexis Telford holds a strong 4-1 record this season, which is due to her dazzling 1.37 era on the season as she has allowed just six earned runs in 30.2 innings pitched.
Scouting Report-Cardinals:
Dominique Guerra leads the Cardinals with her .361 batting average, while Jillian Gutierrez has knocked a team-high 29 hits this season. Victoria Altamirano has been one of the most imposing hitters in the nation this season as she has launched nine home runs this season and paces Incarnate Word with 25 RBIs this year. Larissa Jacquez has struck out 55 batters in 53.1 innings pitched for the Cardinals this season, holding a 2.10 era on the year.
Series:
Friday evening's series opener will mark the 22nd all-time meeting between these two Southland opponents with SFA leading the series 18-3 to date. The Lumberjacks won the most recent meeting in 2023 as they posted a 5-4 home win over the Cardinals. SFA holds an 11-1 road record all-time against the Cardinals.
