Sun Belt Conference softball tournament

Texas State 5 at ULM 3
Coastal Carolina 5 at Appalachian State 6 (8)
Georgia Southern 2 at James Madison 4
Georgia State 2 at Marshall 6 (delayed in the 5th)
Southern Mississippi 0 at Louisiana 2
South Alabama 6 at Troy 7

It only took one day to eliminate two of the three 12-9 teams from the race for the #1 seed. Coastal falls to Appalachian in 8, 6-5, and Georgia Southern loses to James Madison, 4-2. Marshall is leading Georgia State, 6-2, in the 5th inning. That game will be concluded at 1:00 tomorrow.

The Marshall-Georgia State series is scheduled to conclude on Friday because of severe weather they are expecting on Saturday. If Marshall ties with ULM and Texas State, they will win the tiebreak with a 2-1 record against their tied opponents and be the #1 seed. This makes it necessary for Texas State to sweep ULM to be the #1 seed.

Texas State scores 5 runs in the top of the 7th to defeat ULM, 5-3.

The battle for the last team in the bracket is between James Madison and South Alabama. Southern Mississippi (9th place) is two games up on South Alabama (11th place) with two games left but beat USA both games they played. James Madison clinches with a win or USA loss.

I still consider myself a Yankee even though I’ve now lived in Louisiana for more than half my life, but even I would have gone with something like “Cleats and Crawfish”.

Looks as if we are in the same boat as everyone else. You have to win the tournament to get in. 1 bid league. No one's RPI is high enough for an at large at this point.

Win today, carry the momentum into the tournament and win 3.
It can be done the way this team has been playing as of late.

If we win today and either ULM or Texas State sweeps, would we be the #3 seed since we have the tiebreaker over either one of them?
