BATON ROUGE - Southern baseball swept Alcorn State over the weekend to the tune of a +25 run differential, bumping their SWAC win streak up to six games. The Jaguars are coming of back-to-back series sweeps in SWAC play and are now 11-6 in conference play.

The month of April has been kind to the Jags. After taking one game from first-place Bethune Cookman and hanging with the Wildcats for three games, Southern bounced back from losing that series with three close wins at Grambling State to sweep the Tigers. 

Southern is tied for fifth in the SWAC with Grambling with a series against fourth-place Arkansas-Pine Bluff coming up this weekend.

Of the four series the Jags have remaining in SWAC play, two of them are against opponents below the Jaguars in the standings (Mississippi Valley and Alabama A&M).
