Southern recently took two-of-three from Texas Southern. This is the final game of the regular season for Southern before it starts the SWAC Conference Tournament.

HOT, HOT, HOT
Drake Osborn might be the hottest hitter in the country after increasing his hitting streak to 11 games on the weekend. In his last 25 games for the Ragin' Cajuns, Osborn is 33-for-87 (.379) with eight doubles.
Equally as HOT
Brennan Breaux is on a tear as well for Louisiana. Dating back to the Coastal Carolina series (03/29/21), Breaux is hitting .384 (28-for-73). Going into that game against Coastal, Breaux was hitting .218 and has nearly raised his batting average (.312) .100 points since then.
LWSA Hitter of the Week
Louisiana's Connor Kimple has been named LWSA Hitter of the Week for his performance against North Alabama over the weekend. In the three games, Kimple went an impressive 7-for-9 (.778) at the plate. Kimple posted five total RBI on the weekend and gave himself up in three sacrifice plays as well. The junior had two perfect days on the weekend, going 4-for-4 on Friday night and 2-for-2 on Sunday afternoon.
Scouting the enemy
Southern (15-27, 13-11 SWAC) enters play winning its last weekend series against Texas Southern. The Jaguars own the third-most wins in the conference.
Full Capacity
Louisiana Athletics is excited to announce that M.L. 'Tigue' Moore Field at Russo Park is now at 100% capacity and open to all fans. Single game tickets are available at the ticket booth on gamedays, which opens one hour before first pitch.
