BASEBALL HISTORY VS ABILENE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY FROM APRIL 25, 2015 - APRIL 7, 2024

SFA used to dominate this series with an impressive 11-1 lead up to 2018.

But since 2021, it has been all ACU, going 14-2 and now leads the series 15-13.

The Wildcats are riding an 8-game win streak, but have only had one true road game this season, in which they actually lost 7-11 to SLC member UIW in San Antonio.

ACU put up 42 runs in their last two games this Saturday and Sunday against Prairie View A&M.

Abilene Christian has three very good starters with a 7-0 combined record in their pitcher rotation, but who knows who SFA will see on the mound, with this being a non-conference mid-week single game.

The Wildcat's pitching ace is RHP #22 Dominick Reid, the 6-3; 201 junior from Little Elm, Texas, who has an ERA of 2.55, WHIP .93, with 3 wins, and no losses in 24.2 innings pitched, striking out 36 batters with a BA average against at .188.

As a team the pitching has an ERA of 5.96, WHIP at 1.64 and a batting average against at .290.

The starting lineup bats at .281 having scored 111 runs off of 116 hits, 29 doubles, 3 triples, 13 home runs, 103 RBI's, and 30 stolen bases.

Just a good ole rivalry with one of our exes from Texas.
