North Alabama (2-2) enters the weekend following a competitive matchup against No. 25 Auburn, where the Lions led for six innings before the Tigers rallied late. This series marks the first-ever meeting between North Alabama and St. Louis.

The Billikens (1-3) opened their season with a four-game series against Saint Mary’s, winning the opener before dropping three straight. Senior outfielder Hayden Moore leads the Billikens’ offense with a .500 batting average, .800 slugging percentage, and three stolen bases through the first four games.
