Just a month ago, Southern was 5–7 in conference play and sitting ninth in the standings. Since then, the Jags have completely turned their season around, winning 12 straight conference games. With only two series left in the regular season and Southern just one game behind Bethune-Cookman for first place in the SWAC, the Jags have a strong chance to capture their first regular-season title in seven years. What’s most impressive about Southern’s win streak is the way they’ve done it, sweeping four straight conference opponents. Three of those series came on the road against Grambling State, Alcorn State, and Mississippi Valley State. The one home series was against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Now, the Jags return home to finish the final six games of the regular-season schedule. Starting with a weekend series against Texas Southern and then Alabama A&M. Southern was supoosed to play Jackson State on Tuesday but that game was cancelled. A major factor in Southern’s success has been senior second baseman KJ White Jr., who is currently ranked No. 5 in the country in batting average at .421. His performance marks the second straight year Southern has featured one of the nation’s top hitters. Last season, it was Cardell Thibodeaux, who went on to be drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 16th round.
