Henderson State will continue its eight-game home stand as the Reddies play host to nationally-ranked Delta State in a double-header, Tuesday at Clyde Berry Field with the first-pitch slated for 1 p.m.

Originally the two teams were to play single mid-week games, but coaches from both teams agreed to adjust the schedule and play two 7-inning games Tuesday.

Matt Evans follows with a .305 average including a team best 11 doubles.

Chris Hunt will start game one on the mound for the Reddies, while Steven Brooks is set to start game two.

Hunt is 2-3 on the year with a 5.29 earned run average. The freshman from Greenwood, Ark. has struck out 22 batters in 34 innings of work.

Brooks is getting just his second start of the year and sports a 0-1 record with a 3.65 ERA. In 19 appearances, the sophomore southpaw from Bauxite, Ark. has worked 24.2 innings and has fanned 18 batters.
