Texas Southern blanks Southern for SWAC tournament title

NEW ORLEANS -- Through its first three games in the Southwestern Athletic Conference baseball tournament, the Southern Jaguars were a poised team that performed well in all facets of the game.

All that went by the wayside in Sunday’s championship game against Texas Southern.

The Jaguars were undone by six errors and a lack of hitting, self-destructing in a 10-0 loss at Wesley Barrow Stadium.

“We didn’t deserve to win,” said coach Roger Cador, who has guided the program to 14 SWAC titles. “It’s really sad that we played as well as we did to get here and we wouldn’t for one day to win the championship make the necessary adjustment.

“We wanted to hit the ball out of the park and the wind was blowing in at 25 miles per hour. Never was going to happen.”

It is Texas Southern’s third SWAC baseball tournament championship and its first since 2008, the year before coach Michael Robertson arrived.
