Southern baseball team looks to bounce back; series against Texas Southern starts Friday

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern returns to Lee-Hines Field on Friday for the first time since it nearly beat No. 1-ranked LSU on Tuesday night.

The weekend series against Texas Southern was moved up because of anticipated rain later in the weekend. The series begins with a doubleheader Friday, with games at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., and concludes with a single game at noon Saturday.

Jaguars coach Roger Cador hopes this team responds to the 4-2, 10-inning loss to the Tigers the way his 1999 team responded to a similar loss to LSU.

“We won a whole bunch of games in a row after that, and we went on to win (the Southwestern Athletic Conference title),” Cador said Thursday. “I don’t know if these kids are like the kids in 1999. We’ll see.

“But I told them, ‘Why would you want to play like that, then go back to playing the way you had been?’ ”
