Louisiana Hosts Grambling, SLU In Midweek Action

LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Baseball team opens its second five-game week in as many weeks on Tuesday when it plays host to in-state opponent Grambling at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park.

Louisiana (14-6) will host Grambling (6-13) to open the week before facing another in-state foe – 2022 NCAA Regional participant Southeastern Louisiana (12-8) – on Wednesday to close out a stretch of 17 games at home in a 19-game span.

First pitch for both games is scheduled for 6 p.m., with both games being streamed live on ESPN+. Fans can listen to the game locally on 103.3 The Goat, ESPN 1420 AM and on-line on the Varsity Network app.

Louisiana opened Sun Belt Conference play last weekend with a sweep of Arkansas State – its second straight over the Red Wolves – and its first SBC opening-weekend sweep since 2015.

The Ragin' Cajuns will face Grambling for the first time since the 1998 season and are 11-4 overall against the Tigers.

Junior college transfer Sam Hill (0-1, 13.50 ERA) will make his second start on the mound for Louisiana in Tuesday's game against Grambling. The right-hander went 3.1 innings with a strikeout in his previous start against Mississippi State last week at MGM Park in Biloxi, Miss.

Wednesday's contest with SLU will pit two of the top base-stealing teams in Division I with SLU ranked fifth nationally (64) with Louisiana seventh (61). Starters for both teams are to be determined.

Single-game tickets are available by visiting the Louisiana Athletics Box Office at the Cajundome or purchasing by visiting Account Manager. For more information call the Louisiana Athletics Box Office at the Cajundome at (337) 265-2104.
