Louisiana-Monroe at Marshall

BECKLEY, W.Va. (Interstat) — Louisiana-Monroe and Marshall close their three-game Sun Belt series Sunday with an afternoon and evening doubleheader at Linda K. Epling Stadium.

The Warhawks (25-25) and Thundering Herd (22-27) split the first two games of the series. Marshall won 7-4 on Friday behind Jackson Halter’s two home runs and three RBIs. Saturday’s result was not immediately available.

Louisiana-Monroe right-hander Adam Brodnax is expected to start one of Sunday’s games. Brodnax has struggled recently, taking losses in three of his last four outings. In his most recent start Friday against Marshall, he allowed three earned runs over six innings without surrendering a hit. Brodnax also worked 8⅓ strong innings in a 2-1 loss at Southern Mississippi on May 2, allowing one earned run with seven strikeouts.

Marshall outfielder Jackson Halter has been the Herd’s most productive hitter. Halter went 2 for 5 with two home runs and three RBIs in Friday’s win. In his last 10 games, he has three home runs and nine RBIs. Halter also drove in four runs April 29 at Ohio, going 2 for 4 with a home run.

Sunday’s forecast calls for 63 degrees and cloudy skies.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 5-4 victory for Louisiana-Monroe.

Marshall will host Virginia Tech on Tuesday before a three-game series at Texas State starting Thursday. Louisiana-Monroe returns home to face Troy in a three-game set beginning Thursday.
