    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.

    • Our inexperience at PG is hurting this team. Wilhite would be solid off the bench but there’s a big dropoff from what Pryor and Jackson brought to this team last year. 
    • Lamar falls by thirteen 89-76.  Cardinals couldn't overcome the foul trouble.  Lamar finished the game shooting 39% from the field, but UNO shot better at 54%.  Lamar made seven more three-pointers than UNO but in the end when UNO shot twenty-five more free throws than Lamar it's just hard to overcome.
    • Lamar down by seven with 8:15 left in the game.  Although the total fouls for both teams aren't that for apart, Lamar is getting called for ticky tack fouls that UNO isn't.  Lamar also not shooting a good enough percentage, shooting 33% so far in the game.
