San Marcos, Texas – The 2012 baseball regular season is nearing its conclusion as Texas State will head to Natchitoches, La., for a three-game series Thursday through Saturday against Northwestern State at Brown-Stroud Field. The two teams will have games at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday before a 1 p.m. game on Saturday.
The Bobcats have won four consecutive Southland Conference series entering the meeting with Northwestern State. The team currently sits in third place in the Southland Conference standings and has guaranteed itself a spot in the eight-team Southland Conference Tournament field. Texas State brings a 29-21 overall record and 17-13 mark in Southland play into action Thursday.
Meanwhile, Northwestern State will be fighting to get into the Southland Conference Tournament as the Demons are currently in ninth place in the SLC standings, one game behind both Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Stephen F. Austin. After winning their first three Southland Conference series of the season, the Demons have lost each of their last five SLC series. Last weekend, Northwestern State dropped two of three games against Nicholls to fall to 18-30 overall and 13-17 in the Southland.
