MONTGOMERY, Ala. — After consultation with the head coaches, the Sun Belt tournament games committee will shift the Guardian Credit Union Sun Belt Baseball Championship to a single-elimination format beginning on Friday, May 27.
No. 4-seeded Louisiana (33-21) will now face fifth-seeded South Alabama (31-22) on Friday in a quarterfinal game at 4 p.m. at Montgomery's Riverwalk Stadium. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+ with fans in the Lafayette area able to listen to the game on KPEL-FM (96.5), the Varsity Network and the #GeauxCajuns app.
The decision was made following a significant weather delay on Wednesday and in consideration of Thursday's weather forecast and student-athlete rest and recovery during postseason play.
