There is an uproar on campus and it's coming from the baseball and softball teams.
They are taking the South Western Athletic Conference by storm with their sweeps in conference play.
The Panther baseball squad conquered their first sweep in conference play against Grambling State University. The Lady Panthers took a doubleheader over University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Matthew Chase took the mound in the first game against the Tigers. Chase pitched a complete game while striking out seven and has improved his record to 4-1 in the season. Chase couldn't have obtained this goal without excellent play from his fellow teammates.
The first game looked like a seesaw with neither team staying in front for long. In the fifth inning the Panthers scored four runs, which led to the final score being 9-7.
Jabari Wimbs and Ricky Thomas had a helping hand in the scoring binge. Thomas and Wimbs had two hits and two RBIs.
The second game gave the Tigers no confidence with Prairie View cruising to an easy 16-5 victory.
Thomas accumulated seven RBIs. He started by hitting a grand slam in the second inning. Thomas followed with three RBIs single.
Fernando Almaguer pitched the second game for PV and earned his first victory of the season.
This gives the baseball team a 15-14 overall and 5-4 in SWAC play.
The Lady Panthers must have been feeling the energy from the Baseball team because their victories were won by a tremendous amount.
They were showing no mercy to UAPB. On the mound for the Lady Panthers was senior pitcher Trisha Anderson. Anderson pitched a complete game while shutting out Pine Bluff at the same time.
The first game was no contest with the Lady Panthers winning 11-0.
Lady Panther's second baseman Amberly Fuller led the scoring attack with two RBIs.
First baseman Christina Reyes and left fielder Nikki Lilly, both led the team with two runs scored.
