THIBODAUX, La. – After securing its first victory over a ranked opponent in nearly two seasons, the Nicholls State University baseball team will travel north to play a three-game series against Northwestern State University.
 
The action from Natchitoches will begin on Friday night at 6:30 p.m. while Saturday's first pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. and Sunday's will be at 1 p.m. All three contests will be live streamed via ESPN+.
 
Earlier in the week, Nicholls (11-15, 5-7 SLC) tallied 13 hits enroute to its first victory over a ranked opponent since the Colonels took down No. 1 LSU during the 2023 campaign as they took down No. 13 Southern Miss, 8-5. Last weekend the Colonels took two games against UIW to claim their fourth home series victory.
 
In the other dugout, Northwestern State (15-9, 7-5 SLC) enters the weekend on a two-game winning streak after taking down Centenary College earlier in the week. Like the Colonels the Demons won their previous weekend series as they took two of three road contests at New Orleans.
