After a rough weekend in Oxford, the LSU Tigers are back home tonight to take on Northwestern State. Coach Jay Johnson says Chris Stanfield has a chance to play tonight despite sore ribs from crashing into the wall while making a catch on Sunday. But second baseman Seth Dardar is questionable with an ankle injury. The Demons are in first place in the Southland, despite losing a series last weekend to Houston Christian.
Louisiana Tech baseball has now won six straight games after sweeping Middle Tennessee this past weekend. Just two weeks ago, the Bulldogs had lost eight straight, but head coach Lane Burroughs says he is proud of how his team has turned things around.
Cut 16 (12) “…win the ballgame.”
Tech looks to make it seven straight tonight when it hosts Little Rock at 6 p.m.
