STEPHENVILLE, Texas – Tarleton State's midweek matchup at the home of the Lamar Cardinals has been canceled and will not be made up.
Following the cancellation, the Texans now turn their full attention to a huge weekend series with Southern Utah as five teams fight for the final three WAC Conference Tournament spots.
The three-game series with the Thunderbirds will get underway on Friday at 5 p.m. with Game 2 following at 7:30 p.m. If the Texans sweep the doubleheader and both Stephen F. Austin and Abilene Christian are swept in their Friday night doubleheader the Texans will lock up at-least the 7-seed in the WAC Softball Tournament.
If Tarleton State completes the sweep over Southern Utah, UT Arlington is swept in their final conference series and SFA and ACU finish 1-2 or are swept the Texans will move to the No. 6 seed. If both SFA and ACU are swept this weekend the Texans need just a single win to make their second straight tournament berth.
The final game of the series is set for a 1 p.m. first pitch on Saturday. This also marks Senior Day for seven different Texans who will don the Purple and White for their final time at the Tarleton Softball Complex. The seven seniors are
Jordan Dickerson,
Makenzie Dunbar,
Kelci Hill,
Ashlee LaRue,
Brady Rowland,
Katy Schaefer and
Kayla Wallace and they will be honored postgame on Saturday.
The WAC Softball Tournament is set for May 8-11 in Seattle. Seattle U will be the host school for the 2024 tournament.
The three-game series Friday-Saturday will air live on ESPN+ as well as live stats will be available for all contests as well.
