Following Tuesday's contest, the team will make the return trip to Hammond to face off with the Lions beginning at 6 p.m. from Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field. The game was originally scheduled for February 26, but was moved due to severe weather.

Louisiana's pitcher for both contests is currently listed as TBA.
