The Southwest baseball team (24-29) saw its season come
to an end Monday in the third round of the TJCCAA/NJCAA
Region 7 tournament at Columbia, Tenn., with a 12-8 loss
to Volunteer State. Sophomore third baseman Devin Hicks
hit two home runs and drove in four.
The Saluqis started tournament play on May 2 with a 5-1
victory over Motlow State. Sophomore righthander
Colby Fitzpatrick pitched a nine-inning two-hitter and
struck out five to earn the pitching victory.
Southwest lost to 2nd-ranked Walters State, 4-3, on May
3 despite an outstanding pitching effort by freshman
lefthander Matt Ince, who allowed just one earned run
and struck out a career-high 11 batters in six innings.
On Sunday, the Saluqis beat Jackson State 11-4 as
sophomore leftfielder Billy Ray Todd had four hits and
three RBI and freshman designated hitter Chris Coleman
slugged two homers with five RBI.
