Tennessee Tech Baseball Weekend Preview (4/28)
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It's back to the road for the Tennessee Tech baseball team, as the Golden Eagles visit the Little Rock Trojans for the first time in program history for a three-game series starting Friday evening.
The first contest of the series is set for a 6 p.m. CT first pitch with game two scheduled for 2 p.m. on Saturday and the series finale set for Sunday at 1 p.m.
The Golden Eagles enter the series on a four-game skid after falling three times to Ohio Valley Conference foe Murray State over the weekend and to in-state rival Middle Tennessee in a rain-shortened midweek contest Wednesday. Little Rock saw its midweek game postponed due to weather after taking two games from Georgia Southern over the weekend.
Tennessee Tech (21-18) at Little Rock (20-18)
