SFA:6 (9-40)
ULM:11 (21-28)
Final

In front of a crowd of 1,238 in attendance, the Jacks made a game of it going up 4-0 in the top of the 2nd.

Tyree Carr got things started with a 2-run homer (3rd) to left field in the 2nd leading to a 6-1 SFA advantage going into the 3rd.

ULM quickly closed the gap in the 5th knotting it up at 6 a piece.

After that it was all ULM scoring 5 unanswered as the pitching settled in to shutting the SFA bats down, striking out 12.

Lumberjack pitching K'ed 3, walked 7 and gave up 11 ERs off of 13 hits.

Back to the left coast for the final series in the WAC with Sacramento State (23-27; 11-13), starts Friday May 10th at 6:00 on ESPN+

The Hornets have impressive wins over #22 UC Santa Barbara, Minnesota, Nevada, USC, and #17 Oregon

SFA:1 (9-41; 5-23)
SAC STATE:12 (24-27; 12-13)
Final (7 innings)

12 runs off of 12 hits (2 homers) and a dominating performance on the mound by the Sac State pitcher Evan Gibbons who goes the distance with giving up only 2 hits, 1 ER, 8 K's, and 1 walk

Game 2 at 9:00 P.M. ESPN+

SFA:7 (10-41; 6-23)
SAC STATE:5 (24-28; 12-14)
Final

Hello two-digit win column, as the Jacks make it to 10 wins on the season and are now one game away from their first back to back series win for 2024.

It was a home run derby with 6 total going over the fence, 5 of which were by the Jacks.

Cole Hill started thinks off in the first with one over left field (7th of the season) giving SFA the quick 1-0 lead.

Lets do it again in the 2nd as the Jacks go back to back with Cal Martin (6th) to center and Tom Biggs which would be the first of two for the game (6th) to right field, and again in the 4th. Dylan Bourgeois would put up the insurance in the 9th (2nd).

T2 | BACK 2 BACK HOME RUNS FOR MARTIN AND BIGGS 😤

18 total K's by both pitching staffs.

The Jacks almost pull off the come back, trailing 10-1 going into the 5th inning.

The come back began when Cole Hill sent one out over left field for a 3-run homer (8th)

Down 7-10 in the 7th Cal Martin homers to left field to score Peyton Parker on a 2-run homer (7th) making it 9-10 going into the 8th.

Right out of the gate the bats were on fire as both teams combined for 23 runs through 4 innings.

The Jacks rally in the 6th to close within 3, but all was quite after that as both teams could not score.

NSU K's 10 and walks 5.

The Jacks pulled within 1 in the 5th with a RBI single by Cal Martin, but NSU put it away with their second 9-run inning in this series in the 5th)

Pitching gave up 13 runs (all earned) off of 9 hits striking out 6, walking 8.

Thanks 93. Baseball lover here. Challenging to be a Lumberjack baseball fan. You keep us in the game.

🚨SCOOP: @SFA_Baseball has parted ways with long-time head coach Johnny Cardenas, @d1baseball has learned. Cardenas spent the last 16 seasons with the Lumberjacks. The Jacks finished the 2024 season with a 10-44 overall record. #SFA #WAC

Best of luck to him.

Hope Cardenas does well. Finds a good spot. Talked to him numerous times. Seemed like a quality individual that understands student athletes.

Best of luck to him. He seems like a great guy but it was time for change. Hoping the new coach brings the program out of the Landfill and into something great.

Need to look at Jared Hood. Coaching at ETBU and has built that program up. Would be a great hire

Agree, amazing job at ETBU!
