Southern Jaguars, ULL Cajuns meet after successful weekends

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Fresh from a rare Monday practice at Lee-Hines Field, Roger Cador was in a great mood. In fact, the man was downright bubbly. He was chattier than usual, which in Cador’s case, is quite literally saying a lot.

He’d gotten a good bit of sleep since Saturday afternoon, when his Southern baseball team bounced back to complete a doubleheader sweep of Texas Southern, clinching the three-game weekend series. Cador was encouraged by what he saw from his players that day.

“I feel a lot better. You have to feel better when you look at what they were able to achieve,” Cador said. “They got more two-strike, two-out hits, which was something we had been preaching to them. We played some defense, and we got some very good pitching. “So when you put all that together, it’s wonderful.”

What could make him feel better? If the Jaguars keep it going, of course. At 6 p.m. Tuesday, they host Louisiana-Lafayette (15-16) at Lee-Hines Field, hoping to prove that they’re still capable of shaping up in time for a championship run.
