THIBODAUX, La.- The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks Baseball Team (10-26, 2-16 SLC) are back on the road this weekend as they travel to Thibodaux for a weekend series with Southland foe Nicholls State University (13-24, 6-15 SLC).
Lumberjacks at a Glance:
The Lumberjacks took care of business at home on Tuesday evening as they hosted the Prairie View A&M Panthers and rallied back from a 5-1 deficit in the fifth inning with a five-run inning seventh inning to help lift them over the Panthers 9-6 and help snap their losing skid to secure their seventh home win of the campaign. The Lumberjack offense continues to pour on the runs within the friendly confines of Pilgrim's Park as they totaled their seventh home game this season with at least seven runs. The SFA batting order displayed immense discipline at the plate on Tuesday evening as they draw a mind-boggling 18 walks as a team, a new season-high, while recording their third game this season with double-digit walks drawn in a game. The Lumberjacks will now look to carry over the confidence and patience from their midweek win into this weekend series against the Colonels as they look to continue to gain ground in the Southland standings.
Colonels at a Glance:
The Nicholls State Colonels return home for this weekend to host SFA following a four-game road trip that saw the Colonels snap a losing streak of their own with a commanding 14-6 win over the Jackson State Tigers on Tuesday evening in Jackson, Mississippi. The Colonels totaled 10 hits, 14 runs, and 10 walks in the win over the Tigers as they took a 3-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back. The Colonels have thoroughly enjoyed playing on their home field this season as they hold a 11-7 home record, but a 1-16 away record as they will be looking to improve their home record over this weekend series.
Scouting Report-Lumberjacks:
A staggering eight different Lumberjacks drew at least one walk in Tuesday's win over the Panthers, while six different players recorded multiple walks, and three different players recorded three or more walks. Josh Ibe continues to be impossible to keep off the base paths as led the team with four walks on the evening, while Mark Henning and Owen Hooper formed a dynamic duo at the plate as each drew three walks apiece on the evening. Henning also drove in a team-high three RBIs in the win, while Cermodrick Bland scored a team-high four runs including clubbing his second home run of the season with a two-out solo bomb to left in the third inning to get SFA on the board.
Reid Boyett continued his strong stretch of pitching out of the bullpen for SFA on Tuesday as he tossed 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing no hits, walking just one, and striking out three Panthers to help lock down his first save of the season. Between his last three outings, Boyett has now pitched 6.1 scoreless innings for the Lumberjacks, allowing just three hits, one walk, and striking out three over that stretch.
Scouting Report-Colonels:
Chase Jans and Karson Irvin have been kick starters for the Colonels offense as both hold a batting average over .300 this season with each player also hitting six doubles this year. Jans has hit a team-high three home runs, while Jaden Collura has driven in a team-leading 23 runners this season and has drawn 22 walks at the plate. Alec Sparks has been the ace of the Colonels rotation as he has pitched to a 3.10 ERA this season, posting a 4-2 record, striking out 49 batters over 52.1 innings pitched.
Series:
Thursday evening's series opener between these two Southland opponents will mark the 41st all-time meeting in the series history. The schools have evenly split the first 40 meetings, with the Colonels winning the most recent meeting in 2021 as they claimed a 2-1 home win over SFA. The Lumberjacks holds a 9-10 away record all-time against the Colonels in Thibodaux.
On Deck:
The Lumberjacks stay on the road for their midweek matchup as they travel to Lorman, Mississippi for a matchup with the Alcorn State University Braves on Tuesday, April 22nd. First pitch for Tuesday's game against the Braves is set for 6:00 p.m. CST.
