    Eighth-seeded UIW defeated top-seeded Lamar 6-3 in the first round of the Southland Conference Baseball Tournament at Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field in Hammond, La.

    Incarnate Word scored all of their runs in the eighth and ninth innings to overcome what was a 2-0 lead by the Cardinals through four innings.

    Lamar trailed 3-2 headed into the bottom eighth inning but tied it up thanks to a sacrifice fly by Ethan Ruiz which scored Austin Roccaforte.

    Cameron Caley's three-run homer in the ninth gave UIW a 6-3 lead, one that they would not relinquish.

    Lamar falls to the loser's bracket and will face an elimination game against Northwestern State at 9:00 am on Wednesday.

    • I would really like to see the win this game, go 7-5, and show a little improvement from last year.  Would be good on the recruiting trail to show the continued improvement.  Let 2 very winnable games, SFA and SELA get away.   Hopefully Rossomando gets the QB and offensive play improved before next year.  Not sure how many starters we are losing after this year. 
    • Cards travel across the river to McNeese on Saturday for a 7 PM game.  This will be the last game of the season and with a win Lamar will tie SFA for third place and a loss will move Lamar down to a tie for fifth place possibly with multiple teams.  McNeese is sitting in the same place so add one more thing to the rivalry.  Will it be a 7-5 season and the first time since the 1960's that Lamar has had two winning seasons in a row or a breakeven 6-6 and at least some disappointment compared to some expectations.
