Fresh off sweeps of Southland Conference road series, the Southeastern baseball and
softball teams will return home to host league series to highlight this week in Southeastern
Athletics. The Lion baseball team (16-6, 5-1 Southland) carries a five-game win streak into
another five-game week. SLU starts the week on the road for non-conference action,
as Southeastern will travel to South Alabama for a 6:30 p.m. game on Tuesday and face
Jackson State in a 6 p.m. road contest on Wednesday. Southeastern then returns home for a three-game league series versus Houston
Baptist at Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field. The Lions and Huskies meet on Friday
at 6 p.m., Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. in Southland Conference action. The SLU softball team (15-11, 4-2 Southland) plays all five of its games this
week in the friendly confines of North Oak Park. On Tuesday, the Lady Lions welcome
Alcorn State for a 3 p.m. non-conference doubleheader. League leader Nicholls then comes to town for a three-game Southland Conference
series. The three-game set opens on Friday at 5 p.m., before the series closes with
a 12 p.m. doubleheader on Saturday. The Southeastern tennis team (5-9, 2-3 Southland) will also be home this week
for Southland competition. On Sunday, SLU hosts league foe Abilene Christian for an
11 a.m. match at the Southeastern Tennis Complex. Southeastern Athletics Marketing and Promotions will hold several promotions
this week in conjunction with home baseball and softball games. SLU will hold Local
Heroes Appreciation Games for Tuesday’s softball and Sunday’s baseball contests. For
those games, first responders, service members and military personnel will receive
a discounted ticket by presenting valid ID. Tuesday will also feature a Cane’s Challenge
at North Oak Park. If the Lady Lions score two or more runs in either game versus
Alcorn State, fans can redeem their game ticket or Cane’s coupon at their local participating
Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers to receive a free combo with the purchase of another
