## Resource

Southern Miss Golden Eagles catch fire at the perfect moment, winning 11 of their last 12 Sun Belt baseball games and closing the gap on Coastal Carolina atop the standings.

Dave Schultz examines how key performances, including a home sweep over Texas State and a road sweep against James Madison, have vaulted Southern Miss into a potential title run, while Coastal Carolina’s pitching woes and recent series losses have left the door wide open. The Sun Belt race intensifies as Texas State sweeps Arkansas State to revitalize their at-large hopes, while the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns eye a crucial series against Coastal Carolina to solidify their tournament position. Schultz breaks down tiebreaker scenarios, RPI implications, and standout player performances across the league.
