South Alabama enters the final three weeks of the baseball regular season almost in "win-or-else" mode.
The Jaguars lost two of three at home to last-place Arkansas State a week ago, not only all but killing their chances at a Sun Belt Conference East Division title but putting their postseason hopes in serious jeopardy. South Alabama (25-17, 13-7 Sun Belt) might just about have to win out to reach to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament -- or win the Sun Belt tournament for the second straight year later this month to earn the automatic spot.
