Southeastern Hosts Tulane for Fireworks at the Pat

HAMMOND, La. – Southeastern Louisiana opens an eight-game homestand Wednesday at Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field, hosting Tulane at 6:00 p.m. for the annual Fireworks at the Pat promotion.

Southeastern students are encouraged to contact or stop by the ticket office prior to the game to reserve theirs in advance.
 
The game can be heard in the Hammond area on the flagship station of the Southeastern Sports Radio Network – KSLU 90.9 FM – in addition to online at www.LionSports.net/ListenLive and via both the Lions Gameday Experience and TuneIn Radio apps.

Southeastern (3-4) looks to rebound from a rough weekend in Tucson, Arizona. The Lions dropped all four games, although they had opportunities to win each of the first three against No. 19-ranked Arizona.

Jacob Burke (.480), Evan Keller (.385), Gaby Cruz (.375), Champ Artigues (.360) and Christian Garcia (.360) are the Lions' leading hitters through the first two weeks of the season. Burke also leads the squad with six extra-base hits, including the team's only home run, 12 RBIs and six stolen bases.
 
Freshman right-hander Will Kinzeler (0-1, 6.14) is slated to get the start on the mound for the Lions, opposing sophomore righty Tyler Hoffman (0-0, 0.00) for Tulane.
 
Jared Hart (.400), Collin Burns (.394), Chase Engelhard (.333) and Frankie Niemann (.333) are the Green Wave's leading hitters. Engelhard leads the team with eight extra-base hits, including three home runs. Luis Aviles has driven in a team-high eight runs.
 
Tulane is dropped a nonconference series at Mississippi State this past weekend, winning the opener, 7-3, before falling in the final two games.
