The Jackson State baseball team will play the second of three consecutive home Southwestern Athletic Conference weekend series, hosting Florida A&M at Braddy Field.

Game times are 6 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. Saturday, and 1 p.m. Sunday with live stats and live video links at gojsutigers.com. This series was initially scheduled for Tallahassee, but the teams flipped the locations due to the weather forecast in Jackson last month. The April series was played in Florida, with the Tigers winning one of three games last month.

Before last Tuesday's 6-3 loss at New Orleans, Jackson State won two of three games in last weekend's SWAC series against Bethune-Cookman. After falling in 13 innings last Friday night and a rainout on Saturday, JSU won both games of Sunday's doubleheader by scores of 5-3 and 7-3.

Christian Womble got the complete-game win on the mound in the seven-inning contest, blanking B-CU over the final four innings, setting the stage for Jatavis Melton's game-winning grand slam with two outs to win the opener. Jesse Caver pitched into the seventh inning in the series finale and, combined with Brandon Haston and Erick Gonzalez, held the Wildcats scoreless in seven of nine innings.

Ty Hill continues to be one of the nation's top hitters, ranking second in the SWAC and tied for 17th in the nation in batting average (.411), second in the SWAC and tied for 11th in the country in on-base percentage (.528), is third in the SWAC in on-base plus slugging% (1.192), is third in the league in slugging% (.664), and is tied for fourth in the league in doubles (14). Hill, who got his 200th career hit against the Privateers Tuesday, is also tied for fifth in hits (60), tied for third in triples (four), has a career-high five home runs, and is tied for fourth in RBI (48).

Nationally, the Tigers (23-19 overall, 8-13 SWAC) are tied for 12th in scoring (8.9 runs per game), tied for seventh in triples (20), tied for 17th in total runs (373), and tied for 16th in on-base percentage (.421). Jackson State is third in the SWAC in batting average (.305), and fifth in ERA (7.08).

Florida A&M (21-21, 15-6) is coming off of losing all three games at SWAC Eastern Division leader Alabama State in a matchup of co-division leaders. The Rattlers have three players batting .365 or better in Ty Jackson (.384, 3 HR, 24 RBI), Janmikell Bastardo (.375, 8 HR, 42 RBI), and Ty Hanchey (.365, 9 HR, 38 RBI).
