Southern baseball to play doubleheader at UAPB on Sunday, will give freshman pitcher Tyler Robinson a start

HEAD COACH ROGER CADOR
SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY JAGUARS

PINE BLUFF, Arkansas -- The start of the Southern baseball team’s season has been bumpy, to say the least. The Jaguars are 2-9 and near the bottom of most Southwestern Athletic Conference statistical categories.

Southern coach Roger Cador thinks he’s found the answer.

Cador called his decision to move freshman Tyler Robinson and senior James Fontenot into the starting rotation with senior Santos Saldivar one of his best ideas in years and one that could potentially change the fate of the floundering Jaguars.

He’ll get his first shot to prove that Sunday, when the Jaguars play a noon doubleheader at Arkansas-Pine Bluff (5-7) in their first Southwestern Athletic Conference road series of the season.

The teams were supposed to play a three-game series, but unfavorable weather forced the coaches to settle for the Sunday doubleheader instead.
