#AAC #ECU Pirates were swept by Houston at home. Both teams should make the field of 64. In the Sunbelt Coastal Carolina has been erratic but should make the playoff while South Bama is fading from view.

#coastalcarolina finished the season strong and goes in to the Sunbelt Tournament in good shape to make the field of 64. Watch out for Kevin Woodall JR who has 17 HRs this season. Nick Kanavas is batting .373 for Kent State as the MACT nears when Miami of Ohio, who took 2 of 3 from them this weekend, appears to be their biggest roadblock.

I'm not sure if this will reverse trends but selling beer outdoors has made #fresnost happy. Beer sales at Bulldog Stadium took in some $90,000 from six home football games in 2017 and added another $20,000 from sales at baseball and softball games.

All O5 teams were eliminated. Probably the biggest suprise is #stetson (Atlantic Sun) going to Omaha.
