Southeastern Hosts Jackson State for Prime Time Tuesday

HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University baseball team continues its nine-game homestand, hosting Jackson State at 6 p.m. Tuesday in a non-conference contest at Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field.
 
With this Prime Time Tuesday event, fans will receive one free general admission ticket for every one they purchase to Tuesday's game.
 
Live stats will be available online at www.LionSports.net and in the Lions Gameday Experience app. Fans can also receive in-game updates on Twitter by following the @LionUpBaseball account. The game is also slated for coverage on ESPN+.
 
Neither team has announced a starting pitcher for the contest.
 
Southeastern (18-18) is led offensively by Tyler Finke (.328), Shea Thomas (.278), Jake Killingsworth (.271) and Champ Artigues (.265). Finke also leads the team in extra-base hits (14) and stolen bases (26). Thomas has driven in a team-high 33 runs.
 
The Lions split four games last week, defeating No. 28-ranked UL Lafayette, 5-4, and taking one of three in a Southland Conference series against McNeese. Jackson State (19-15) was swept in a three-game conference series at Alabama State this past weekend.
 
Ty Hill (.419), Bret Mersman (.350), Daniel Bannon (.348) and Myles White (.345) are the Tigers' leading hitters. Hill also leads the squad in home runs (4) and RBIs (40). Jatavis Melton paces Jackson State's ground game with 20 stolen bases.
 
Southeastern returns to action on April 28 in the opening game of a Southland Conference series against Lamar.
