Tyler Laux had a dominant performance on the mound, and Steven Williams homered for the second straight game as Prairie View A&M beat Grambling 12-2 in eight innings Saturday at cold, blustery Tankersley Field.
 
Laux went the distance, allowing only five hits and two unearned runs, walking one and striking out three. He did not allow a run in the final six innings and sat down the final eight Grambling hitters he faced.
 
Williams went 2-for-3 at the plate, and his eighth inning walkoff homer ended the game.
 
Trailing 2-0, the Panthers (7-21, 4-10) scored four runs in the third to take the lead for good. With one out, Kaylor Lewis and Tyler Gordon each walked, and Corbin Jamison was hit by a pitch to load the bases. With two out, Calvin Rucker singled to right field, scoring Lewis as Gordon scored on a fielding error, advancing both runners to tie the score at 2-2. Jamison then scored on a passed ball to take the lead for good, and Rucker scored on an error for a 4-2 PVAMU lead.
 
The Panthers added two runs in the fourth. Williams led off the inning with a walk, and advanced to third on a throwing error. Following a walk to Brashad Jones, who later stole second base, both players advanced on a passed ball as Williams scored. Xavier Jefferson walked, and, after Lewis reached on a fielders' choice grounder, Gordon's single to right scored Jefferson for a 6-2 lead.
 
Prairie View A&M broke the game open in the sixth. With one out following a singled by Gordon, Jamison walked. Tracy Warren then tripled down the right field line scoring both runners. Following a walk to Rucker, Ezekiel Bear reached on an error, scoring Warren. Williams then singled to left field, scoring Rucker and Bear for an 11-2 lead.
 
Game three of the series between the Panthers and Tigers (16-15, 9-5) is Sunday at 1 p.m. at Tankersley Field.
