MOBILE, Ala. – The University of New Orleans will begin a stretch of six games in six days when they travel to South Alabama on Tuesday and Southeastern Louisiana on Wednesday for a pair of 6 p.m. mid-week contests.
Tuesday's game will feature live video, audio and stats through the USAJaguars.com web site with Wednesday featuring live audio and stats on LionSports.net.
UNO (3-37) enters the busy week with an eight-game losing streak, having last posted a win on Apr. 10 at Alabama A&M. The Privateers will look to post their second straight win in the state of Alabama as it sends right-handed pitcher Zach Kelt (1-8, 7.98) against former Sun Belt rival USA (22-18).
Kelt lasted four innings in his Friday start against Temple and will look to bounce back in his first mid-week appearance since Mar. 8 at Tennessee.
The Jaguars had not announced a starter as of 3 p.m. on Monday afternoon to counter Kelt, as the hosts look to extend their current five-game winning streak in the series against UNO at Stanky Field.
The Privateers will continue their week on Wednesday with Corey Laudermill (0-1, 7.38 ERA). The freshman right-handed pitcher last started on the mound on Mar. 12 against Troy and will be challenged by SLU (26-15) starter Joseph Koon (2-4, 7.36 ERA).
The Lions are 2-0 against UNO on the season with both victories coming at Alumni Field during the month of March. Of the members on the Privateer roster, Beau Boudreaux has found the most success against SLU, producing a .444 batting average in nine at-bats.
Following the two contests, UNO will head to Lynchburg, Va. for a four-game weekend that includes two games apiece against Big South foe Liberty and fellow Division I Independent LeMoyne.
