    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.

    • Conference games only this week.  I suppose for each school their game is the top game of the week, but for me it's a toss up between UIW versus Nicholls and Lamar versus SFA.  Using the rankings UIW/Nicholls is the game of the week, but Lamar gets their shot at both of them later and the results of that game gives indication of what is to come.  For me Lamar is the key game this week as SFA has a conference loss to McNeese on the books, so they need the win to stay relevant and Lamar needs the win to maintain the preseason expectations.  HCU has a chance to prove last week's win at McNeese wasn't a fluke if they can take down SELA and NWST has what might be their best chance for a win this year playing Commerce.
    • With this weeks Massey Ratings should Lamar be the underdog at home versus SFA this weekend?  I expect a close game.
