LSU Alexandria baseball pitcher Carter Fabre is the Red River Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week after winning his first start with six innings of shutout work.

Fabre tossed six innings of shutout baseball in the Generals’ season opening win over Wiley College. He allowed just one hit and struck out five. Fabre, a senior right-hander from Houma, forced seven ground outs and earned his first win of the season.

The Generals (3-1) host John Melvin University this weekend for the second straight weekend. LSUA split a Friday doubleheader last weekend, bouncing back from a 4-0 loss to win 7-3.

The season opened with a 9-0, 4-3 sweep of Wiley on Thursday.

LSUA will play a single game Friday against John Melvin and a twinbill Saturday. No start times are shown on the Generals’ website.

LOUISIANA CHRISTIAN:  The Wildcats rallied from three runs down in the final inning of Game 1 to win, spurring the offense to a doubleheader sweep of the 19th-ranked Mid-America Christian Evangels, 5-4 and 13-5, to open the 2026 season last Thursday at Billy Allgood Field.

In the nightcap, Chris Kelley went three-for-four with three RBI and two runs scored, both of those coming off his first two home runs of 2026.

His RBI double started the three-run ninth in the opener, which included a game-tying, two-out, two-strike, two-run single by Jake Messina and a game-winning bases-loaded walk drawn by Sterling Sims.

Coach Mike Byrnes’ club (2-0) will host Wiley this Friday in an 11 a.m. doubleheader.
