## Resource

Sun Belt baseball enters “cancellation season” as postponed games spark controversy over RPI manipulation and postseason hopes. South Alabama drops their Alabama State matchup, while North Carolina State and others cancel late-season games against low-RPI opponents. Should the NCAA selection committee punish teams for these strategic cancellations, or will coaches keep gaming the system? Dave Schultz spotlights Louisiana’s setback as all-conference second baseman Rigoberto Hernandez is sidelined for the year, breaking down his impact at the plate and in the field. Key storylines include the high-stakes App State vs. Louisiana series, Sun Belt tournament seeding battles, and must-win midweek clashes like Coastal Carolina vs. Clemson. Don’t miss insights on how RPI-driven decisions are reshaping the Sun Belt postseason race and which teams may face do-or-die moments as the regular season winds down.
