BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The chairman of the Southwestern Athletic Conference baseball coaches committee said Sunday that the conference tournament is being pulled from Fort Worth, Texas and is expected to land in Baton Rouge or New Orleans.Grambling coach James Cooper said there were “safety concerns” at LaGraves Field, which he inspected last week, that can’t be resolved in time for the tournament, which begins May 14.
“The field had a bunch of issues with it that would be a hazard for the student-athletes,” Cooper said. “So the tournament is not going to be in Fort Worth.
“Right now, it looks like the SWAC tournament will either be at Southern or the Urban Youth Academy in New Orleans.”
