BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Samford University softball team hits the road for a double header matchup against Southern University in Baton Rouge, La. on Tuesday, March 23, with game one set to start at 2 p.m.

The Bulldogs (22-8, 2-3 SoCon) will face the Jaguars (1-23) for only the second time in the program's history. The only meeting between the two institutions came back in 2005 at the Southeastern Louisiana University Lion Classic in Hammond, La., where Samford took a 2-1 victory over Southern.

SU fell behind in the contest thanks to a one-out home run in the fourth inning but bounced back and scored a run each in the top of the fifth and sixth inning to take the game.

Samford, after already eclipsing the school's single season home run record, is on the verge of passing the school's single season records for runs scored and RBIs. The Bulldogs go into tomorrow's game with a total of 189 runs which is just 20 shy of the record of 209 set back in 2008 and currently sit on 179 total RBIs just six shy of breaking the record of 185 which was also set back in 2008.

Junior Abby Adams claimed sole possession as the school's single season home run leader after she belted her 11^th of the season on Saturday, March 22, against UNCG. The record was previously held by Shelly Stanley who hit 10 back in 2006.

Sophomore Callie Brister is currently riding a six-game hit streak as SU heads into tomorrow's games versus the Jaguars. Brister during that span is 10 for 17 (.588) at the plate with four RBIs, two runs scored and two walks.
