LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Interstat) — The Central Arkansas Bears look to extend their winning streak against the host Bellarmine Knights on Sunday afternoon in an ASUN Conference matchup at Knights Field.

Central Arkansas (25-19) enters the series finale having won the first two games of the weekend, including a 14-7 victory Saturday and a 13-2 win Friday. The Bears have taken four of five meetings this season against the Knights (17-25), whose only win in the series came March 21 in Conway, Arkansas.

First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. under cloudy skies with temperatures near 71 degrees.

Left fielder Zeb Allen has been the catalyst for Central Arkansas’s offense. Over his past 10 games, Allen is batting .423 (11-for-26) with four home runs and 14 RBIs. In Saturday’s win, he went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs. Allen also homered Friday and has seven RBIs in the series.

Bellarmine shortstop Landon Akers leads the Knights’ attack. He collected two hits and an RBI in Saturday’s defeat and is hitting .333 (12-for-36) over his last nine games. Akers had a four-hit, four-RBI performance April 7 against Murray State.

Central Arkansas has relied on a potent lineup throughout the season. Designated hitter Casey Shipley and right fielder Mark Ross each drove in three runs Saturday. Shipley homered and finished 3-for-5, while Ross went 2-for-4 with a home run.

The Bears’ pitching staff has held Bellarmine to nine runs in the first two games of the series. Friday’s starter dealt 6⅓ innings of two-run ball.

Bellarmine will counter with a bullpen-heavy approach after its starter lasted only 1⅔ innings Saturday. Reliever Presley Monteforte tossed 1⅔ scoreless innings in that game.

Statistical simulation projects an 8-4 Central Arkansas victory, with the Bears holding a 62.7 percent win probability according to Interstat’s ELO system.

Central Arkansas has won eight of its last 10 games overall. The Bears face a three-game road set at Austin Peay next weekend before a midweek trip to Memphis.

Bellarmine has dropped four of its last five. The Knights host Morehead State on Wednesday before traveling to North Alabama for a three-game series beginning May 1.

Sunday’s game marks the final regular-season meeting between the two ASUN rivals. Central Arkansas can complete a series sweep with a win.
