Louisiana Tech play at UL-Lafayette tonight.

First pitch is set for 6 PM. UL-Lafayette's website doesn't say the game will be streamed anywhere.

Lafayette defeated Tech 2-0 last Tuesday night. Spencer Arrighetti limited Tech to 1 hit in 6.1 innings. The sophomore also had 10 Ks.

Pitching Probables: LA Tech LHP Kyle Griffen (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs UL RHP Connor Cooke (0-2, 5.06 ERA)

Tech enters tonight's game off of a 3-game sweep of Southern.

The Bulldogs outscored the Jaguars 26-7 over the three games.

Phil Matulia had a monster weekend at the plate. Matulia was 7/11 (.636) with 2 home runs and 7 RBI.

Parker Bates also had 7 RBI in the series. Bates has yet to strikeout in 30 plate appearances over 6 games.

Tech's pitching staff currently has a 3.46 ERA over the first 6 games. Free passes have been an issue as Tech has 30 BB/HBP over 52 innings pitched. Need to get that cleaned up.

For ULL, Carson Roccaforte enters the week RED HOT. The FR went 10/16 (.625) with 3 doubles and 3 RBI last week. He's hitting .500 early on.

Brennan Breaux is hitting .280 with 1 HR and 6 RBI.

Connor Cooke will be another good one on the mound for the Cajuns. The FR will be up into the mid-90s at times with a power curveball.

After sweeping Rice last weekend, ULL is off to a 6-2 start in 2021. It's the 4th best start for the Cajuns in the last 20 years.

Should be a cold, windy night in Lafayette. Temps in the 40s, 13 mph winds.
