Shreveport - The Centenary baseball team has been selected as Centenary Athletics' "Team of the Week" after the Diamond Gents swept Southwestern University on the road last weekend in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play.
The Diamond Gents (14-16, 10-11 SCAC) swept a doubleheader last Friday as they won game one by a score of 5-4 in 10 innings and then took game two 9-6. Centenary polished off the series sweep on Saturday with an 8-7 victory. Centenary has won a season-high four games in a row and improved to 5-5 on the road while they have now won seven in a row against the Pirates and have dominated the recent series, winning 13 of the last 14.
Centenary is back on the road this weekend for another critical league series against the nationally-ranked Trinity University Tigers beginning on Friday at 7 p.m. in San Antonio.
