Trojans welcome Memphis to town Tuesday for second meeting with Tigers

With a five-game win streak in place, Little Rock will aim to keep its hot hand while sweeping the season series against Memphis when the Tigers come to Gary Hogan Field on Tuesday for a 3:00 pm midweek matchup.
 
The Trojans (6-1) finished a three-game sweep of West Georgia on Sunday, but had held on for a thrilling 12-11 win at Memphis just last Tuesday in a game that saw 10 home runs leave the yard at FedEx Park, thanks to some strong winds blowing out of the park.

Scouting the Tigers
"Always a dogfight with Memphis. They're well-coached, they use the short game, and they run. We had a tough one at their place, and I fully expect us to be in another dogfight here, so we need to go and get after it," head coach Chris Curry said. "We're gonna start [Jack] Cline. A lot of our Tuesday games are high-leverage matchups, so it's good to know we have a guy like that available. We'll continue to mix and match, using our bench depth."
 
Series History
