BATON ROUGE, Louisiana --The last time the Southern baseball team played Jackson State, it lost its fifth straight game.The Jaguars fell 11-5 on March 24 in Jackson, Mississippi, and there seemed to be little hope for a team that was routinely getting outplayed in every phase of the game.
But just two weeks later, Southern has turned things 180 degrees as it prepares to face the Tigers at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Lee-Hines Field.
The Jaguars (10-15) are 7-0 since losing to Jackson State (20-11), and the statistics show just how dramatically their play has improved.
During the streak, Southern is batting .301 compared to .246 during its 3-15 start. It has hit 11 homers in the seven wins compared to six in the first 18 games. Opposing pitchers had a 4.02 ERA before the win streak, but during the streak their ERA is 6.49.
