SU Jaguars take two from PV

PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas — With 20 mph winds blowing in from center field, Southern University played small ball against Prairie View in the first game of a SWAC doubleheader Saturday afternoon.

In the second game, Prairie View seldom got the bat on the ball. Southern pitcher Jose De Leon was in control, striking out 12 Panthers in seven innings.

When all was said and done, Southern extended its win streak to nine games, sweeping Prairie View and drawing to within two games in the loss column of the Panthers for the Western division lead. The teams conclude their weekend series with a 1 p.m. Sunday game.

Southern (24-14, 13-7) strung together 12 hits — 11 singles — in the first game, and did a great job of advancing runners in an 8-5 win.
