Memphis Tigers vs. Lipscomb Bisons: A Closer Look at Tuesday’s Game
The Memphis Tigers baseball team is set to face the Lipscomb Bisons at 4:05 p.m. on Tuesday at FedExPark Avron Fogelman Field. This matchup marks the seventh meeting between the two teams, with the series currently tied at three wins each.
In their last encounter, the Tigers fell to the Bisons in a nail-biting 4-3 game that went into extra innings. This week, Memphis is looking to bounce back after a tough weekend against Missouri State, where they lost all three games.
Despite the losses, there were some standout performances. Michael Gupton had an impressive weekend with two games where he drove in four runs each, making him the first Tiger since Hunter Goodman in 2020 to achieve this back-to-back feat. Gupton leads the team in home runs, totaling five so far this season.
The Tigers have also excelled on the base paths, stealing 35 bases this season, which ranks them first in the American Conference and 29th nationally. Freddy Rodriguez is currently the team leader with nine steals, putting him in the top 50 in the country.
Lipscomb, on the other hand, comes into this game after a tough series against No. 4 Mississippi State, where they were swept. Their performance included a particularly rough 26-0 loss in the final game, which raised questions about their pitching staff.
Looking ahead, Seth Impson will start for Lipscomb, hoping to improve his ERA of 7.94. He’ll face Memphis’s lineup that has been putting up some impressive numbers, including 17 home runs so far this season.
Aaron Stelogeannis stands out as Lipscomb’s offensive leader, boasting a .333 batting average and a solid on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 1.033. Currently, Lipscomb ranks 40th nationally in triples with five, indicating they’ve got speed on the bases.
Both teams will be eager for a win, making this an exciting game to watch. Whether you’re a Tigers or Bisons fan, this matchup promises action and drama.
