Cardinals Open SLC Tournament Wednesday

BEAUMONT, Texas – Winners in six of the last eight games, the Lamar University baseball team (25-21/17-19 SLC) enters the Southland Conference Championships as one of the hottest teams in the league. The No. 8 overall seed, the Cardinals have qualified for their first conference tournament since the 2017 season. Big Red's opening-round opponent – No. 1 Abilene Christian (34-19/25-13 SLC) – also got on a hot streak late in the season winning 15 of their final 17 games to win the regular-season title, but one of their losses came on the final day of the regular season at Stephen F. Austin.
