Southern turns its focus to SWAC baseball tournament

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  --  Nasty weather wiped out Southern’s three-game exhibition series against LSU-Eunice this weekend, robbing the Jaguars of a chance to do some fine-tuning before heading to Fort Worth, Texas, for the Southwestern Athletic Conference baseball tournament.

The teams had planned to play once Friday and twice Saturday until rain storms interfered.

The silver lining, Southern coach Roger Cador said, is that a couple more days off gave the Jaguars (20-21) even more time to rest players they hope to soon have back.
