Tougaloo takes two Sunday to earn series win over Xavier

Tougaloo rallied twice Sunday to sweep a doubleheader and win a three-game season-opening series against Xavier University of Louisiana at Wesley Barrow Stadium in New Orleans.

The Bulldogs won 10-7 in the opener after trailing 4-0 through three innings, then won the finale 7-3 after trailing 3-1 through three innings.

XULA beat Tougaloo 14-3 Saturday and won all five 2021 meetings with the Bulldogs. Courtland Posey had five hits and five RBIs for XULA in the doubleheader, including a two-run homer in the first game.

The Gold Rush, playing seven in a row at home to open the season, will play Stillman in a 1 p.m. doubleheader Tuesday at Barrow.
