The 4-seed Ragin Cajuns (33-21) face 5-seed South Alabama (31-22) in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Sun Belt Conference Tournament at RIverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Alabama. First pitch is set for 4:52 p.m. CT and can be seen on ESPN+.
Initially, the game was scheduled for Wednesday but rain pushed tournament games back and caused the league to shift to single elimination.
