HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University baseball team will host the red-hot Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles in a three-game series this weekend at Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field.
 
Friday's first pitch against the Golden Eagles (10-1) has been pushed up to 12 p.m. in anticipation of rainy weather conditions. The final two games of the series remain at their original times of 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. The entire series will air on ESPN+.
 
All three Southeastern (5-8) games can be heard online at www.LionSports.net/ListenLive and via both the Lions Gameday Experience, Mixlr and MyTuner Radio apps.

Will Kinzeler (2-0, 2.12), a sophomore right-hander, takes the ball for SLU in the opener against Golden Eagle redshirt sophomore right-hander Peyton Calitri (2-0, 2.95).
 
Senior right-hander Hunter O'Toole (0-2, 6.75) draws the Lions' starting assignment Saturday opposite Tennessee Tech junior right-hander Carter Gannaway (2-0, 2.40).
 
Wrapping up the series Sunday afternoon, Southeastern will start redshirt junior right-hander Hayden Robb (0-0, 4.20). The Golden Eagles have not announced a starting pitcher for the series finale.
 
SLU has dropped three consecutive games, including a 13-1 decision Wednesday at Louisiana Tech.
 
Evan Keller (.298), Preston Faulkner (.283), Bryce Grizzaffi (.244) and Rhett Rosevear (.238) pace Southeastern at the plate. Faulkner leads the squad with five extra-base hits, including a home run, and is tied with Keller for the team RBI (7) lead. Keller's seven stolen bases are tops on the team. SLU ranks fourth nationally in HBPs (35) and 15th in stolen bases (24).
 
Tennessee Tech, which won its first 10 games of the season, fell late to Auburn, 4-3, Wednesday at a neutral-site contest in Huntsville, Alabama.
 
The Golden Eagles are led at the plate by Ed Johnson, an Auburn transfer, and Jason Hinchman. Johnson leads the team in batting average (.455) and runs scored (19) while Hinchman (.423) tops the team leaderboard in home runs (5) and RBIs (19). As a team, Tennessee Tech is hitting .348 with 21 home runs in 11 games.
