Baseball can’t decipher code to win in Sun Belt

The baseball team’s overall win-loss record is split almost evenly, but in conference play the loss column is lopsided.
The team’s only conference-win was a 7-5 victory at home against the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in March.
The team lost the series against the Ragin’ Cajuns and has dropped five straight games since then.
Junior right-handed pitcher Cale Wine earned the lone win for the Warhawks against the Ragin’ Cajuns, but Wine’s earned run average is above seven in his three appearances on the mound.
Senior right-handed pitcher Wil Browning was credited with the one team save so far. Browning has taken the mound four times.
Against the conference, the Warhawks opened its first six games at home with back-to-back series against ULL and South Alabama. In those games, they gave up 54 runs and only crossed home plate for themselves 27 times.
In its four games at home against Conference-USA opponents, the team recorded 27 runs and only allowed 15 scoring runs.
The team scored as many runs in two fewer games on the home turf.
Offensively, ULM has pieces that can help put together some conference wins. Senior infielder Jeremy Sy is ranked second in stolen bases with four and is tied for first with four recorded doubles.
Junior outfielder Taylor Abdalla leads the team with two home runs and is tied at fourth in the conference.
On Tuesday, ULM gets a break from SBC opponents, as it hosts Northwestern State at the ULM Baseball Complex at 6 p.m.
