Little things win games.

Like Demarcus Coats noticing the third baseman playing back and executing a quick drag bunt with two outs. And like Brandon Revis then doing exactly what he was told to do ? making sure to tag a fastball, nice and easy, into the wind for a two-run homer.

That?s how a one-run lead gets stretched into a three-run lead.

In sweeping Arkansas-Pine Bluff 5-1 and 11-3 Saturday at Lee-Hines Field, half of SU?s 16 runs came with two outs.

?If we?re getting two-out production, that?s one of our main goals,? Southern coach Roger Cador said. ?If you?re going to beat good teams, you have to do that with two outs or two strikes. Hopefully, we can build on that and take that into (today?s) game and the rest of the season.?

The element of timely hitting was exactly what UAPB couldn?t find against Southern pitching that was clutch but hardly dominating.

SU (17-15, 10-6 Southwestern Athletic Conference Western Division) trailed early in both games but never by more than one run.
 

A bright spot in our down year(s) ...

Speedy Roquemore still scrambling at Grambling

Last season, Roquemore made the team as a walk-on and played in eight games, starting five. He hit well in limited time, batting .316 in 19 at-bats, with five RBI and two stolen bases in two attempts.

As a true freshman, he made an impression. Roquemore proved his worth to a struggling Tigers team, which finished 13-31, by going 2-for-5 with two runs and an RBI in two games toward the end of the year against Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

But the D-I dream quickly came to an end. Against Prairie View A&M, Roquemore chased a fly ball toward the right-field fence, dove and braced himself for impact against the wall. His left wrist shielded possible injuries to his face, but he'd shattered it and his freshman season was over.

Surgery followed, with seven pins and a plate inserted into the injured joint, and Roquemore recalls how he couldn't play against Grambling's rival, Southern University. He'd broken into the lineup during the middle of the season, after the Tigers' first series against Southern, and now he'd sit out again.

But sitting wasn't the hardest part - the rehab was. It lasted from April to July, he remembers, and included several setbacks.

There was the test with a machine that measures wrist strength, where he scored a 45 in his right hand, but just 15 in his left. And a doctor who informed Roquemore there was a chance he'd never return to the diamond.

He came back. And, according to third-year Grambling coach James Randall, Roquemore is playing better than ever.

In his sophomore campaign, Roquemore has played in 31 of 34 games, starting 28 as the Tigers' everyday center fielder. He's hitting .287 with 14 RBI and 15 runs and seven steals in 10 attempts.

It's been another tough season for the team, which is 3-30 and 1-17 in SWAC play. Roquemore leads the struggling offense in steals, runs, RBI and hits (23).

I hope it aint that guy #4. He's okay at the plate, but defensively he'll throw the ball away in a heartbeat. At least he did at PV.
