Revenge is Bittersweet Southern 1-1 against Prairie View in weekend play

Twenty-four hours after junior left-handed pitcher, J’Markus George, scourged the plate while striking out 14 players in a 9-2 victory, Southern then was submerged 1-7 when Prairie View turned the tides.
Prairie View’s Edgar Sanchez took action and relieved nine Southern players while only giving up four hits in an overtaking victory on March 13, 2016 at Tankersly Field in Tomball, Texas.
Southern took the first game by storm on March 12, 2016 when the Jaguars collected 7 runs in their first 3 innings and left the Panthers scoreless.
With bases loaded in the top of the fourth, junior outfielder, Dondrayas Harris, took a course to the plate and sailed a homer over the field to accost for 4 RBIs.
Prairie View didn’t relieve themselves of the savage undertaking until the bottom of the fifth when the Panthers finally totaled some runs on the scoreboard. With two runs on three hits, it showed for a slight turnaround for the Panther squad.
Back to regular programming, the Panthers (5-8, 3-2) scored all of their points in the first five innings and left the Jaguars inching for a fighting chance in the bullpen capped with a two run home run by Shannon Washington in the fifth inning.
Southern (3-10, 2-3) now reigns in another conference loss and head coach Roger Cador explains the mistakes that were made by the Jaguars.
“We didn’t pitch well early,” said Cador,
”Our at-bats were terrible. It makes it difficult when the couple of old players we have can’t get good at-bat.”
Resdhirt sophomore right-handed pitcher, Harold Myles (0-4), took the loss for the Jaguars, giving up five earned runs on six hits with no strikeouts in 2.1 innings.
“We had nothing working early on,” said Cador, “In order for Harold to have any measure of success, he has to stay down in the zone. He was up.”
Southern finally coasted with their lone run in the eighth inning with junior outfielder, Robinson Mateo’s RBI single and in the end the Jaguars stranded four runners.
Cador spoke highly of Sanchez eying the plate to take down Southern in their second matchup.
“Their pitcher threw balls out of the zone, and we chased them,” said Cador of Sanchez. “Their pitcher was smart enough to get ahead and work off of the plate.”
Southern was decimated in hits with 4 while Prairie View had 11 hits.
Southern has to return to combat against Nicholls State on March 16, 2016.
