The Southeastern Louisiana University baseball team's non-conference matchup against Xavier of Louisiana, originally scheduled for Tuesday, April 21, has been canceled. SLU will continue its four-game road trip this weekend with a three-game Southland Conference series against UTRGV in Edinburg, Texas.
