Following back-to-back days of mid-week cancellations due to rain, the Prairie View A&M baseball team returns to action in a Noon doubleheader Saturday at Houston-Victoria.
 
Live stats will be available through pvpanthers.com. 

The Panthers opened the season last weekend in the Andre Dawson Classic in New Orleans. PVAMU led in every game before falling 8-7 to Alabama St. last Friday, 8-4 to Alcorn St. last Saturday, and 10-7 to Illinois-Chicago this past Sunday.
 
Daniel Lingua led PVAMU at the plate, batting .444 (4-of-9) with three runs scored and a pair of stolen bases in all three games. Ezekiel Bear played in every game with a pair of starts, batting .400 (4-of-10) with a double, two runs scored and an RBI.
 
On the mound, Darrien Williams was stellar in his opening day start against Alabama State, throwing 5 2/3 innings allowing three hits and two unearned runs with one walk in 10 strikeouts.
 
"Overall, offensively we have to do better with our situational hitting," said PVAMU head coach Auntwan Riggins. "We have to improve our average with two outs, two-strike hitting, and hitting with runners in scoring position."
 
The Panthers were rained out Wednesday vs. Nicholls and Thursday against Huston-Tillotson. Houston-Victoria (2-5) were able to get a pair of games in this week, losing a Wednesday doubleheader to Texas A&M International.
 
"You always want to get back to playing cleaning up mistakes from the following weekend," Riggins said. "We are very excited about getting back to playing."
 
NICHOLLS GAME RESCHEDULED FOR MAY 2: Tuesday's rained out game vs. Nicholls has been rescheduled for Wednesday May 2 at 3 p.m. at Tankersley Field.
