WHAT'S AT STAKE
Tarleton holds a one-game lead over Eastern New Mexico for the sixth spot in the Lone Star Conference Championship Tournament. Three victories in the series would lock Tarleton into the postseason tournament. Tarleton has its four-game series with UT Permian Basin remaining on the schedule while the Greyhounds have a trip to Kingsville this weekend. The LSC Tournament is a single-elimination event hosting the top six teams in the league standings with the winner advancing to the national playoffs with an automatic qualifying bid. Traditionally held at the league's top seed, Angelo State will not be allowed to host the tournament if the Rams win the league title due to a schedule conflict at Foster Field. If Angelo State, who is at the top of the standings to date, holds on, the tournament will revert to the home of the next-highest seed West Texas A&M.

LAST TIME OUT
Tarleton split a four-game series on the road with Eastern New Mexico. The series was highlighted by Tarleton's 21-13 offensive outburst in game two.

UP NEXT FOR TARLETON
If Tarleton qualifies for the LSC Championship Tournament, it will take place on May 9-11 at the second-highest seed since LSC Champion Angelo State can't host the tournament due to a scheduling conflict.
