Alabama State travels to Mobile on Wednesday to face South Alabama, while the road stretch continues on Friday as the Hornets enter a three-game non-conference series against Grambling State in New Orleans (La.). The team concludes its road journey's on Wednesday, April 26, in Birmingham against Samford.
 
Jacksonville State (18-14) went 1-2 over the weekend, but picked up the final game of the series against Southeast Louisiana. The Gamecocks pounded out 19 hits and scored 17 runs in the win against the Redhawks.
