NATCHITOCHES, La.- The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks Softball team (17-19, 6-6 SLC) make the short trip over to sister town Natchitoches to clash with rival Northwestern State University (4-30, 1-11 SLC).
Lumberjacks at a Glance:
The Lumberjacks ended their four-game homestand with a bang on Tuesday afternoon as they run-ruled the visiting Texas Southern Tigers in a commanding 8-0 win to finish off their homestand with a 3-1 record. Over the course of their homestand, the 'Jacks offense was on full display as they made sure to leave no doubt about any of their three wins as all three wins on the homestand came by way of run-rule. SFA scored 27 runs over their four home games and totaled 38 hits and poured on the extra-base hits as they crushed four home runs and tacked on nine doubles and two triples. The Lumberjack batters put their bodies on the line in the commanding win over the Tigers as they had four different batters hit by a pitch at the plate, for a grand total of five, marking the most hit by pitches by a single team in the Southland this season. The 'Jacks will now look to carry over their newfound bruises and explosive offense into Natchitoches looking to maintain their steady fifth place standing in the Southland.
Lady Demons at a Glance:
The Northwestern State University Lady Demons return home following a midweek matchup against the ULM Warhawks. The Lady Demons fell 10-4 to ULM and will be looking to get back in the win column against SFA. Prior to the ULM loss, the Lady Demons knocked off the East Texas A&M Lions 8-7 in their three-game series finale. Northwestern State University now returns home seeking to improve on their 1-12 home record and 4-31 overall record on the year.
Scouting Report-Lumberjacks:
Kyi'Marri Ester continues to rack up the RBIs for the Lumberjacks as she has five RBIs in her last four games, including four straight games with at least one RBI, while also recording a hit in five of her last six contests. A trio of Lumberjack batters have started to find their mid-season groove as Hope Lusk currently sports a six-game hiting streak, Adelyn Becerra has hit a home run in two of her last three games, including a two-homer performance against the HCU Huskies to increase her team lead to six long balls on the season, while Jamie Varga owns a three-game hitting streak of her own to round out the trio of dangerous SFA batters. Camryn Milley was a force against the Tigers as she tallied four RBIs in the win over Texas Southern. Jordyn Ages, Alexis Telford, and Reagan Hall have formed a three-headed pitching monster in the circle for SFA as they have allowed just one earned run combined over their last 16.1 innings pitched, striking out a combined 10 batters over that span.
Scouting Report-Lady Demons:
DJ Lynch leads the offensive effort for the Lady Demons as she leads the team with a .317 batting average, while also driving in a team-high 17 RBIs, and knocking six doubles on the season. Brynn Daniel and Riley Schwisow have brought the pop as both are tied for the team lead in home runs with three apiece, while Sophia Livers has drawn 16 walks at the plate. Brooklyn Stohler has been a workhorse for the Lady Demons as she has passed the century mark in innings pitched with 110.1 pitched this season, throwing seven complete games, and striking out 44 batters this season.
Series:
Friday afternoon's series opener will see these two renowned Southland rivals meet for the 133rd all-time meeting in this historic rivalry. SFA leads the all-time series 70-62 over the Lady Demons to date, and won the most recent game last season when they claimed a 3-1 road win over the Lady Demons. The Lumberjacks hold a 27-27 all-time road record against the Lady Demons and have won two of the last three road meetings.
On Deck:
The Lumberjacks return home for a mid-week conference series against the East Texas A&M Lions. The series kicks off with a doubleheader on Tuesday, April 8th that starts at 4:00 p.m. CST at SFA Softball Field, before wrapping up the series on Wednesday, April 9th with a single game that has first pitch slated for 1:00 p.m. CST.
