LOUISVILLE – Indiana State Softball will hit its third of four non-conference tournaments this weekend with a return trip to the Bluegrass State for the Red & Black Tournament, hosted by Louisville from March 3-5.
 
Following a 3-1 trip to Western Kentucky last weekend for the WKU Hilltopper Spring Fling, the Sycamores (5-4) will take on host Louisville in addition to both Bowling Green and Wisconsin-Green Bay. Action will start for ISU vs. Bowling Green at 10 a.m. on Friday (March 3), followed immediately by a contest vs. Louisville at 12:30 p.m. live on ACC Network Extra (as well as ESPN3/WatchESPN). Day Two on Saturday (March 4) will start against UW-Green Bay at 10 a.m., before a nightcap against Bowling Green at 5:30 p.m. The Sycamores will close out with the fourth and final meeting with Louisville this season on Sunday (March 5) at 12:30 p.m.
 
The Sycamores and Cardinals have gone toe-to-toe in two games already this season following to narrow contests at the season-opening UNLV Sportco Kick Off Classic out in Las Vegas. There, the Sycamores fell 6-5 in a nine-inning loss and then again by one-run in a 1-0 loss in the tournament finale for ISU.
 
Indiana State is coming off a very impressive weekend offensive at WKU, though. The Sycamores scored 36 runs on 42 hits in four games -- one of which was a five-inning shutout loss to Western Kentucky. At WKU, the Sycamores slugged .552 as a team and belted out four total homers (including two grand slams). Leading the way were sophomore Brooke Mann (5-10, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 1.100 slugging) and sophomore Gabi Carter (5-13, 3 2B, 1 GS, 7 RBI, .846 slugging). Freshman Leslie Sims added a grand slam of her own, an inside-the-park shot that helped push the Sycamores to a 4-2 win over Wright State. In ISU's other two wins it scored 15 and 17 runs in wins over IUPUI and Austin Peay, respectively.
 
First pitch against Bowling Green is scheduled for 10 a.m. ET on Friday. All games vs. Louisville will be broadcast live on ACC Network Extra. For more information, visit Louisville's tournament central HERE.
