NEW ORLEANS, La. – Fresh off a season-opening sweep of Tennessee-Martin, the Southeastern Louisiana University baseball team heads out on the road Tuesday for the first time in 2013.

Southeastern (3-0) travels to Tulane for a 6:30 p.m. contest at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium. There is no local radio coverage but, live stats will be available at www.LionSports.net. Fans are also encouraged to follow the official Southeastern Twitter account, @SLUathletics, for game updates.

The Lions claimed all three games of a series with UT-Martin this past weekend, twice stealing home against the Skyhawks.

Ben Hernandez (.714), Harry Slade (.583), Ladd Rhodes (.400), Corey Bryan (.357) and Sam Roberson (.300) are all hitting over .300 after the season's first three games. Roberson has hit Southeastern's only home run and Corey Bryan leads the Lions with four RBIs.

Southeastern is hitting .305 as a team and the pitching staff has compiled a 2.33 ERA.

Freshman left-hander Kyle Cedotal (1-0, 0.00) will make his first collegiate start on the mound for the Lions. The Denham Springs, La., native tossed a pair of scoreless innings in relief this past Saturday and earned the win in Southeastern's 5-3 victory over UT-Martin. Tulane (2-1) will counter with senior right-hander Tyler Mapes (0-1, 0.00) in its 2013 home opener.

Blake Crohan (.500) leads the Green Wave in hitting, but has only played in one game. Sean Potkay (.286), Brandon Boudreaux (.250) and Brennan Middleton (.231) are the top-hitting regulars in the Tulane lineup.

The Green Wave participated in the Texas State Tournament in San Marcos, Texas, this past weekend. Tulane defeated Southland Conference-foe Sam Houston State Friday, 2-0. Mapes picked up the loss Saturday in a 2-0 decision against former Southland-foe Texas State. Sunday the Green Wave rebounded to knock off Missouri State, 6-4.

Southeastern and Tulane are each receiving votes in the latest National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll.

The New Orleans Chapter of the Southeastern Alumni Association will sponsor a pregame Dutch-treat social before the game. The event, beginning at 5 p.m., will be held at Felipe's Taqueria at 6215 South Miro Street (within walking distance of Turchin Stadium).

Southeastern stays on the road this coming weekend, facing BYU and LSU in Baton Rouge, La. The Lions have a pair of 1 p.m. games Friday and Saturday against BYU. Southeastern tangles with No. 2-ranked LSU Friday at 7 p.m.
