GSU out of SWAC tourney

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana — Grambling picked maybe the most inconvenient time to play arguably its worst defensive game of James Cooper's three-year head coaching career.

The Tigers (22-26) committed seven errors Thursday morning in an elimination game against host team Southern (32-15) at Lee-Hines Field and allowed six unearned runs en route to the 8-0 loss.

The Jaguars, playing as the visitors in their home park, struck quickly as leadoff speedster Tyler Kirksey reached on an infield single, stole second base, advanced to third on an erred pickoff attempt and scored on a wild pitch. The initial run was just a sign of the Grambling gifts to come.
