In the first game on March 4, 2016, Southern settled their score with Grambling after winning 10-3.
Southern snuck a win against their conference rivals making it their first conference win of the series after capturing their first non-conference victory against Auburn on February 28.
Grambling caught the first run in the matchup but Southern came from behind and caught two runs to lead.
Southern then came back to lead the game 5-1 after another successful in-ning by the Jaguars at the top of the third inning.
Redshirt senior catcher, Jose Delatorre, reached for his second run as the lead categorized a streak of luck in innings.
Until Southern came into the fourth inning and left without a score to mention.
The Jaguars made up for the fourth innings accosting for four more runs be-tween a series of more innings while Delatorre made another comeback with a run in the seventh inning followed by freshman infielder, Frank Montesino, with his second run and sophomore infielder, John Pope captured run.
Catastrophically feasting off of Grambling, the Tigers finally made generous pacing when capturing the last two runs of the game when Southern lost their momentum only for the Jaguars to capture another run to earn their first win.
Southern outhit Grambling 13-6.
After their first Southwestern Athletic Conference victory, Southern’s feast on the bullpen ceased to exist in the next two matchups against Grambling.
On March 6 against Grambling, Grambling took the cake and spelled defeat for Southern when winning 5-9 and 9-10.
In Game 2, Grambling caught the late game sweep to capture a surefire victory that couldn’t mimic the first game of the season when they scored 5 runs before the seventh inning stretch.
Even though the Jaguars gave way to an early lead before the late inning conquest.
Game 3 spelled the slight victory for the Jaguars as both felines clashed neck and neck to take prominence over each other. Southern played a feral game in their second clashing but nothing compared to the final games of the series.
Southern led 8-4 heartily early in the contest (third inning to be certain) after two bases were clinched and a triple by freshman infielder, Anothey Val-des made sure that Montesino and freshman catcher D’Andre Williams score a RBI.
Valdes alongside freshman outfielder, Javeyean Williams made for a powerful four runs in this inning and a powerful seat for the Jaguars.
Grambling captured a run in the bottom of the sixth inning and spoke of a sure-fire win in the bottom of the eighth inning, three more runs across the plate and spoke ill will for Southern.
Southern (2-8, 1-2) will come back into the spotlight on Tuesday, March 8 against University of New Orleans on Ron Maestri Field.
