Louisiana Christian baseball preview at Xavier

NEW ORLEANS, La. (WNTZ) – The Louisiana Christian University baseball team aims to keep its offense rolling and climb back to the .500 mark in both conference and overall play as it faces Xavier University of Louisiana in a three-game Red River Athletic Conference series at Skelly-Rupp Stadium.

The series opens Thursday, March 14, with a 6 p.m. matchup before concluding with a Friday doubleheader set for 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. The Wildcats (12-14, 3-6 RRAC) enter the weekend having won four straight against the Gold Rush (4-14, 3-9 RRAC), including a pair of victories in Pineville last month. In that February 24 doubleheader, LCU dominated both games, winning 9-3 and 8-3.

Louisiana Christian holds a 7-2 advantage in the series since 1982, with Xavier’s last win coming on February 18, 2023, in a 3-1 decision. The Wildcats will look to maintain their offensive momentum and solidify their conference standing against a struggling Gold Rush squad that has dropped six of its last seven games.

Live stats for each game will be available via the NAIA Stats platform, and tickets for the series can be purchased through Xavier-Louisiana’s official ticketing site.
