More importantly, the squad might be finding a new leader in Eric Zagone, who took the mound for the nightcap on Saturday. He [...]
Grambling is homeward bound, finally.
The Tigers (0-7) make their belated weekend debut in Grambling against Jarvis Christian on Saturday, having played more baseball games than all but two Southwestern Athletic Conference foes — Texas Southern and Alabama A&M — and just one in the friendly confines.

Neither team has won a game, so there is something on the line in this non-conference series between Grambling and Centenary.
Last year, the two north Louisiana baseball teams split, with Grambling claiming victory in Shreveport and the Gents evening the series on the return trip.
