Southern Miss baseball won the Sun Belt Conference tournament, a social media post announced Friday.
The post, shared on Facebook, congratulated the University of Southern Mississippi team and included the hashtag #RoadToOmaha, a reference to the NCAA Division I baseball postseason that concludes with the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
Southern Miss baseball represents the University of Southern Mississippi and competes in the Sun Belt Conference, a Division I league made up of schools across the southeastern and southern United States. Winning a conference tournament is a significant achievement for a program because the tournament champion typically receives an automatic berth in the NCAA Division I tournament, which determines the field for regionals and ultimately the College World Series.
The victory is likely to energize fans and alumni and could influence seeding and selection for postseason play. Further details, including game statistics and official statements from the university or the conference, were not available in the post.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
