The Louisiana State University of Alexandria (LSUA) baseball team will travel to face Texas A&M-Texarkana this weekend to begin Red River Athletic Conference play. LSUA enters the conference opener with an 11-5 record and a six-game winning streak. The Generals have established a strong presence on the national level early in the season, currently ranking second in the NAIA for both walks drawn and hit by pitches.

Why it matters

LSUA's strong start to the season has positioned them as an early contender in the Red River Athletic Conference. The Generals' ability to draw walks and get hit by pitches has been a key factor in their offensive success so far. As they begin conference play, LSUA will look to continue their winning ways against a Texas A&M-Texarkana team that has struggled of late.

The details

Three LSUA players are currently batting .333 or higher on the season, led by Fischer Einkauf's .386 average. The Generals have also received production from Trevor Dooley, Cade LaBruyere, Dalton Wilson and Lane Kratzer, who are tied for the team lead in home runs. On the mound, Michael Sutton leads the pitching staff with a 3-1 record and a 2.14 ERA. Texas A&M-Texarkana enters the series with a 5-9 record and has lost seven consecutive games, though they maintain a 4-2 record at home.

• The series is scheduled to start Friday, Feb. 20, at 2:00 p.m. at George Dobson Field.
• The two teams will conclude the series with a doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 21. The first game of the doubleheader is scheduled to begin at noon at George Dobson Field.
