UConn  and Tulane are tied for second .

Four teams vying  for  the regular season crown  and two of them have a tie due to a travel curfew. Here's the closest definition I could find:   in the final game of  series when a team is traveling by air a time limit  (minimum four hours) from the scheduled start time shall be established, with no new inning beginning after the time limit. 
Batting leaders: Lam (ECU) .346 . Duffin UConn 12HR, 40 RBI. Maglish (USF) and McVey (Cincy) tied with 23 SB.
