PRAIRIE, TEXAS (April 30, 3009) On the baseball diamond, the Panthers battle Texas Southern in a critical match-up that has postseason implications on the line. With the final two postseason berths still up in the air in the SWAC West, this weekend’s showdown at MacGregor Park has all the makings of a classic affair as the winner of the series is guaranteed a spot in the 2009 SWAC Baseball Tournament three weeks away.

The meet, which begins Friday, May 1 and concludes Sunday, May 3, will feature every SWAC school as they battle for the right to be crowned SWAC Champions. The Panthers look to defend their 2008 crown while the women’s squad set out to improve on last year’s sixth-place finish.
