GSU avoids elimination in SWAC tournament

NEW ORLEANS  -- A seven-run seventh inning helped Grambling stave off elimination Thursday in a 14-8 win over Texas Southern at the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament in New Orleans.

The Tigers trailed 8-6 heading into the seventh before exploding for seven runs to advance to Friday’s elimination game against the winner of Alabama State and Alcorn State. Alabama State sent Grambling to the loser’s bracket following Wednesday’s 11-10 win in 11 innings.

Korey Hall’s two-run shot in the seventh tied the game against Texas Southern, and Juan Bueno broke things open with a three-run double to right center.

Bueno finished 3-for-5 with four RBIs and three runs scored. Hall, Roger Diaz and Johnathon Timeo all added two RBIs each.
