This Weekend in Softball

This weekend the Cajuns enter SBC play in Mobile with a chance to get three more top 50 wins. South Alabama's RPI is 38. In addition to the potential RPI boost we have from playing this series, there are a number of other games or series that can have a significant impact on our RPI. The teams we need to win are in bold print. I apologize in advance for geeking out on this kind of information and imposing it on you.:D

Tier 1 [Because we play or played the bolded team 3 x and do not play their opponent.]

App St vs GaSt
Baylor vs Kansas

Tier 2 [Bolded team 2x, DNP opponent]

SFA vs Southern Utah
