NEW ORLEANS -- Even a home run by Dillon Cooper couldn't save Alabama State's pitching staff from a complete collapse in the opening game of the Southwestern Athletic Conference Baseball Tournament at MLB Urban Youth Academy's Wesley Barrow Stadium in New Orleans.Cooper, who was 0 for 3 and batting just .194 when he stepped to the plate in the eighth inning, blasted a two-run home run to left center off Grambling reliever Zach Moreau for his third home run of the year and a 10-9 lead over the Tigers.
Just as quickly, Hornet ace-turned-closer T.J. Renda surrendered a home run to Travaurs Bell that tied the game.
It took a leadoff double by Richard Amion in the bottom of the 11th and a bases-loaded walk to Raul Perez to rescue the Hornet pitching staff in an 11-10 win over Grambling State on Wednesday night.
