PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas — Southern University baseball coach Roger Cador could tell his team was ready when the Jaguars took infield practice Saturday.
SU took that intensity into the games, with two big first-inning outbursts that carried the Jaguars to a doubleheader sweep and the Southwestern Athletic Conference Western Division title 7-5 and 9-3 at Prairie View.

Ignited by James Armstrong’s solo home run, Southern took a 5-0 lead to start the first game. And the Jaguars took a 4-0 lead in the first inning of the second game.
“The kids wanted it today,” Cador said. “For the first time all year, I saw something. They took the field to take infield like I’d never seen them do. It was their body language, their approach. I knew we had a chance.”
