       CARTHAGE, Texas — LSU-Shreveport, ranked third in the NAIA, defeated Xavier University of Louisiana 2-0 and 7-0 Sunday in a Red River Athletic Conference baseball doubleheader.
       LSUS moved the games 70 miles to an all-artificial turf facility because of weekend rain that made Pilot Field unplayable. But the campus field is expected to be ready for the 3 p.m. Monday finale of the three-game series.
