MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- - The University of Memphis baseball will take to the road for the first of a five-game road swing when they take on Arkansas State Tuesday evening at Tomlinson Stadium in Jonesboro, Ark. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
The Tigers are coming off of their second straight C-USA series loss and looks to avenge last season's series sweep suffered at the hands of the Indians. Memphis dropped an 8-4 decision at ASU before being routed 14-1 at Nat Buring Stadium in mid-April.
Memphis (12-9) has lost seven of its last nine contests, while Arkansas State (13-12) has dropped six of its last nine, including being swept by New Orleans in their Sun Belt Conference season-opening series.
Along with the Ole Miss rivalry, the series with A-State is Memphis' oldest, dating back 88 years to the 1915 season. The Tigers have faced ASU 154 times and have defeated the Indians 103 times, both of which are tops against any school in the program's history.
Memphis will remain on the road for a weekend conference series with Louisville, April 2-4.
