JACKSON, Mississippi -- Jackson State bowed out of NCAA postseason baseball play on Sunday and said goodbye to a season to remember.For many, many reasons.
Since last August, the team set a goal to win at least one game in the NCAA regional, something the program had never done in its five previous trips to the tournament.
That changed when the Tigers (32-25), who entered with the lowest RPI in the 64-team tournament, upset the unanimous No. 1 ranked Louisiana-Lafayette in shutout fashion and turned heads in college baseball. They landed the program a featurette on ESPN’s SportsCenter.
“No one tried to downplay anything that we’ve done, so I’m really grateful of that,” coach Omar Johnson said after Sunday’s 11-1 loss to the Ragin’ Cajuns that eliminated the Tigers.
