Alcorn State

Alabama State brought back every player from a club that raced out to a 14-4 start last spring, making the Hornets the clear-cut favorite in the SWAC.

New Mexico State superstar Nick Gonzales smashed three homers and drove in nine Sunday, earning a spot atop the individual leaderboard.

Southern took control of the SWAC last season, but Jackson State and others look to carry the torch as an exciting spring is ahead.

After going undefeated in conference play in 2016, Alabama State has the pieces to win the SWAC again, but Jackson State and Pine Bluff should challenge.

JaVon Shelby homered twice and drove in seven to lead Kentucky to victory in a rubber game at Georgia, highlighting Sunday’s individual leaderboard.
