NSU has been on the right side of plenty of one run game this season. That wasn t the case in their opening game of the Southland Conference Tournament.
NATCHITOCHES â As the busiest Southland Conference baseball season in Northwestern State history winds down, Demon skipper Bobby Barbier can admit he was wrong.
âWhen we did the 40-game (conference) schedule, I thought (the standings) would be different,â he said. âI thought things would be more spaced out. I was wrong.â
Indeed as Northwestern State prepares to host Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in Thursdayâs 6:30 p.m. opener of the four-game series, the Southland standings are quite jumbled with five teams â including the Demons â having clinched spots in the conference tournament, which begins May 26 in Hammond.
NSU’s final series of the season also includes a 2 p.m. Friday doubleheader and a 1 p.m. Saturday series finale. Senior Day ceremonies for eight players will be held ahead of Saturday’s game. All four games can be heard on 95.9 FM and the Demon Sports Network. Free streaming audio and subscription video are available at www.NSUDemon
