PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas — The Southern baseball team had to hang on for its latest victory Saturday, but its winning streak is intact and growing.

Heck, given the Jaguars’ early struggles, what does it really matter that an 8-7 win came after they bolted to an 8-0 lead at Prairie View? Nobody knows better the value of a “W,” no matter how it gets added to the table.

“At the end of the day, it’s better to get an ugly win,” Southern coach Roger Cador said.

The Jaguars pushed their winning streak to seven games as they hit the midway point through their Southwestern Athletic Conference schedule. Once 3-15 overall, SU stands at 10-15, including an 8-6 conference mark.

The Jaguars lost two of three to PV (8-22, 4-10) in late February, so sweeping the Panthers further punctuates the turnaround.
