Islanders Seeded Seventh; Travel To Southeastern For SLC Tournament

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Texas A&M-Corpus Christi baseball will travel to Hammond, La. to compete in the first round of the Southland Conference Tournament as the seventh seed.
 
"We're ready to go on the road and play our best baseball," said head coach Scott Malone. "We have a talented and experienced team that has played well in the post-season before."

All eight teams concluded conference play Saturday afternoon to determine the hosts as the top two schools would hold a four-team regional. The winner of each regional will go on to face off in the second round of the tournament to decide the league champion in a best two-out-of-three series held May 26-28 at the highest remaining seed. The conference champion will then receive an automatic qualifying bid for the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament.
 
The Islanders (26-26, 10-14) are pitted against No. 2 Southeastern (24-27, 14-10) on Thursday evening at 6:00 p.m. Within the same regional headed to Hammond will be No. 3 New Orleans and No. 6 HBU. In the second section of the tournament will be host No. 1 McNeese along with No. 4 Nicholls, No.5 Northwestern State and No. 8 UIW.

A&M-Corpus Christi looks to build upon momentum established at the end of the season, winning six of their last eight games with the last against UIW in the regular-season finale on the road. 
 
All first-round games of the SLC tournament will be streamed on ESPN+. More information along with the full bracket of the tournament can be found here.
