FORT WORTH, Texas -- Home-field advantage just might be in favor of Alcorn State this week at the SWAC baseball tournament.
The campus is roughly 430 miles away from Fort Worth’s LaGrave Field, the host stadium of the 2013 SWAC Tournament, in Lorman, Miss., but many fans will only have an hour or less drive.
Four players on the Alcorn roster will return to their Metroplex home for the tournament, including Euless Trinity alumnus and pitcher Ryan Fuentes.
However, their return trip had not been circled on their calendars long.
Halfway through the 2013 season, Fuentes said he and teammates Josh Powell of Rowlett, Ryan Akins of Flower Mound and DeAngelo Morgan of Cedar Hill stumbled upon the news while checking the SWAC website.
“Originally, the tournament was supposed to be in Baton Rouge at Southern University and then we found out halfway through the season that it got moved to LaGrave and we were really excited,” Fuentes said.
