Will Kinzeler (2-0, 1.89), a sophomore right-hander from Covington, Louisiana, takes the ball for SLU in the opener against Cardinal senior right-hander Michael Garza (2-3, 5.20).
Freshman left-hander Adam Guth (1-1, 4.60) draws the Lions’ starting assignment Saturday opposite UIW junior right-hander Isaiah Zavala (1-3, 9.41).
Neither team has announced a starting pitcher for the series finale.
Since defeating No. 1-ranked Ole Miss on March 15, the Lions have dropped their last eight games.
Preston Faulkner (.290), Shea Thomas (.263), Champ Artigues (.244) and Rhett Rosevear (.243) pace Southeastern at the plate. Thomas is the Lions’ hottest hitter of late, hitting .455 (15-for-33) over the last two-plus weeks. Faulkner leads the squad with 16 extra-base hits, including six home runs, and 23 RBIs. Tyler Finke is tops on the team with nine stolen bases each. Rhett Rosevear is the national leader in HBPs (18) while SLU ranks fourth nationally as a team (57).
UIW has dropped three of its last four games, including two of three at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi this past weekend to open Southland play.
The Cardinals are led at the plate by Roberto Gonzalez (.333), Ridge Rogers (.308) and Grant Smith (.271). Gonzalez and Smith are tied for the team lead with nine extra-base hits. Gonzalez’s 15 RBIs are tops on the squad and Rogers paces the team with six steals.
