HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University baseball and softball teams will continue Southland Conference play and the women's basketball program will hold Bunko for Basketball during this week in Southeastern Athletics.
 
The Southeastern baseball team (22-21, 4-11 SLC) will open the week's action with a 6:30 p.m. nonconference contest at Tulane Tuesday. The Lions then return home to host New Orleans for the Ponchartrain Bowl series. The three-game set opens with a 6 p.m. contest Friday, continues Saturday at 6 p.m. and concludes Sunday at 1 p.m.
 
Every Saturday at the Pat this season will give fans the opportunity to win prizes for Bingo at the Ballpark. This Saturday will also be Alumni Night, as former Lions in attendance will be recognized prior to the contest. Every SLU baseball home Sunday will be dedicated to military appreciation, as all active military will receive free admission with a valid military ID.
 
The SLU softball team (42-10, 17-4 SLC) will look to secure the top seed in next week's North Oaks Health System Southland Conference Tournament with a sweep of league leader McNeese this week. The series opens with a 6 p.m. contest Friday and concludes with a 1 p.m. doubleheader Saturday.
 
Southeastern will be no lower than the No. 2 seed in the league tournament, which is scheduled for May 7-10 in Hammond. Tournament tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at www.Southland.org/tickets.
 
North Oaks Health System will present Bunko for Basketball to benefit the Southeastern Louisiana University women's basketball program Friday in the SLU War Memorial Student Union Ballroom.
 
Dinner opens the event at 6 p.m., followed by fun and fast-paced Bunko games beginning at 7 p.m. Raffles, prizes and a silent auction are also part of the Green and Gold-themed festivities. The event is open to adults 21 years and older.
 
Tickets are on sale now for $45, while admission will be $50 at the door on the day of the event. Tickets can be purchased online at www.LionSports.net/bunko2024 or by visiting the LAA office in the Dugas Center for Southeastern Athletics.
