    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.

    • Lamar sweeps HCU to capture 3rd place in the regular season.  Bad news is they travel to UTRGV for the first round of the conference tourney and get a fourth straight game against HCU in double elimination play to see if they can get to the championship series.
    • Looking for the sweep today over HCU !  What a comeback by Lamar last night. I turned it off after they gave up lead in the 9th inning. Missed a great finish. Go get #40 today cards !!!!!!
    • Cards play Texas close until the bottom of the eighth.  The score was 4-2 at the end of seven and Lamar got a home run from Skinner to close the gap to one, but Lamar pitching ran out of gas in the bottom o the inning giving up five runs to fall by a final of 9-5.  Cards will close out the regular season with a three game series at home against HCU beginning Friday at 6 PM.  Cards need a sweep to guarantee the fourth seed.
