HAMMOND, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana University baseball team looks to wrap up the Southland Conference regular season championship, while the softball team awaits their postseason fate during this week in Southeastern Athletics.
 
The reigning SLC regular season champion SLU baseball team (30-19, 18-9 SLC) currently is alone atop the conference standings and in the driver's seat for its second straight Southland Conference championship heading into this weekend's final series versus Nicholls at Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field. The series opens at 6 p.m. Thursday, continues Friday at 6 p.m. and concludes Saturday at 2 p.m.
 
Friday will be Senior Night, as the Lion senior class will be honored prior to the contest. Each Friday Funday at the Pat during the season will features fans 12 and under receiving the opportunity to stand with their favorite Lion during the national anthem. Each Saturday will feature Bingo at the Ballpark.
 
The top two teams in the Southland Conference standings will host bracket play May 14-17 with the highest seed of the two bracket winners hosting the SLC Championship series May 21-23. Southeastern needs one win to secure hosting one of the two brackets and two wins to clinch the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament.
 
The 2026 Southland regular season champion Southeastern softball team (46-14) is in contention for its first-ever at-large berth into the NCAA Regionals. The Lions hope to hear their name for the third straight year when the field is announced Sunday at 6 p.m. on ESPN2.
