congrats to the devillettes! i wanted su to win but valley is by far the best team! no one else was close.....not even su.
 
SU is playing terrible right now. Not even close to the same team they were earlier in the season. All the injured players(M.Thomas, B. McDavid, and Garcia) should return next weekend @ Gram. I know tSU should feel terrible right now. SU committed 8 errors :retard: in game 3 , and still found a way to win.
 
Congrats to the Delta Devilettes of Mississippi Valley State University!!!!
6 Consecutive Years!!!!

Southern overcomes 8 errors, Texas Southern

Three hours, 47 minutes of pure, incomprehensible bedlam had passed.

Southern right fielder Juan Mujica stepped back into the batter’s box. With the bases loaded and nobody out in the 12th inning against Texas Southern. He faced a 1-2 count.

In a microcosm of the Jaguars’ entire weekend, Mujica had been badly fooled on two curveballs. By then, the crowd at Lee-Hines Field had already seen it all Sunday afternoon — nine errors, 28 hits, three rallies and 36 players used.

The fans clapped, hoping for Southern to pull off the most improbable win of the year.

Mujica swung and blooped a lazy fly ball behind third base. On any other day, it would have been a surefire out.

Somehow, the ball landed on the grass between three Tigers, and pinch-runner Romey Bracey came home.

With that, the Jaguars finished off a three-run rally in the 12th inning to win, 9-8.
