MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball program wasted little time finding a replacement opponent for this weekend as the Skyhawks will travel to Grambling State. The two sides will play a single game at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 27, followed by a 12 p.m. doubleheader on Sunday, March 28.
It was announced yesterday that UT Martin's weekend home series against Morehead State was cancelled because of NCAA and Ohio Valley Conference protocols. The Skyhawks (7-9) will now make the 450-mile trek south to play the Southwestern Athletic Conference opponent for the first time in school history.
UT Martin is now in the midst of a 14-game road trip, having traveled to OVC rival Eastern Kentucky last weekend. Following its trip to Grambling, La., the Skyhawks will head to Belmont (March 30), Nicholls (April 1-3), Vanderbilt (April 6) and SIUE (April 9-10) before their next home contest.
Grambling State is 4-12 overall with a 3-3 SWAC record in 2021. The Tigers enter the weekend on a four-game winning streak (by a combined five runs) after sweeping a three-game home series over Texas Southern and posting a 9-7 road win at Jackson State on Wednesday. Jordyn Smith's .320 batting average leads three Grambling State regulars above .300 while Cameron Bufford paces the squad in both home runs (four) and RBI's (15). Redshirt junior righty Kerry Boykins, Jr. (1-1, 5.19 ERA) leads the Tigers with three starts and 17.1 innings on the mound while four different Grambling State hurlers have notched a save this spring.
