Loss keeps Southern out of tourney

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  --  Southern finished its home baseball season with a loss that guaranteed it won’t qualify for the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament.

The Jaguars lost to Grambling 16-7 on Sunday afternoon at Lee-Hines Field to fall to 8-24 and 4-15 in the SWAC, guaranteeing a last-place finish in the West Division. The Tigers, second to last in the West, improved to 13-27 and 11-13.

Southern, which visits McNeese State in a non-conference game Wednesday, can’t win more than nine SWAC games. Third-place Prairie View A&M fell to 10-10 when it lost to Texas Southern 6-1 on Sunday.

“We don’t deserve to go because we didn’t do it on the field,” Jaguars coach Roger Cador said.
