A test of endurance
The Florida A&M Rattlers endured a 16‑inning battle that stretched over five and a half hours before edging Texas Southern 9‑8.
The Rattlers found themselves down four runs early, but a steady rally in the later frames turned the tide, culminating in a walk‑off single that sealed the victory.
The win capped a three‑game sweep of the Tigers, underscoring the team’s resilience and depth as they closed out their regular season.
With the triumph, Florida A&M finished the year at 27‑22 overall and posted a 22‑8 record within the SWAC, positioning them as a formidable contender heading into the conference tournament.
