Some critical series; in softball, as well as baseball, lead off this installment of D2SS: The Weekend. Here goes!
The Valdosta State University baseball and softball head down to the westernmost end of the Florida Panhandle this weekend for two key series in the Gulf South Conference East Division, as both take on the University of West Florida Argonauts and Lady Argonauts, respectively, this Saturday and Sunday.
Leading things off on the softball diamond, the VSU Lady Blazers (38-5, 21-4 GSC) will make the trip to Pensacola with an outright GSC East title at stake, as they do battle with the UWF (36-12, 15-10) women in an early afternoon doubleheader. Meanwhile, Alabama-Huntsville (35-9, 20-3) hopes to hold on to a precarious lead within the division, as the Chargers face off against West Alabama (38-21, 10-13) at home. The Tigers are tied with North Alabama (26-27, 10-13) for the fourth and final GSC tournament berth from the East.
On the baseball diamond, the top-ranked (Collegiate Baseball) Muleriders of the University of Southern Arkansas (38-4, 17-0) may have already clinched the Gulf South Conference West Division title outright. But they still face a critical test on the road this weekend, as they travel to Cleveland, Miss. to face No. 20 Delta State (32-13-1, 11-6). The Statesmen are battling Arkansas Tech (33-14, 13-4) for the GSC West's No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference tournament next weekend.
In the GSC East, the battle for the No. 1 spot on that side takes in Pensacola, as West Florida (33-15, 10-2) takes on No. 14 Valdosta State (35-13, 9-3). The Blazers can win no worse than a share of the division title by winning two of three games over the Argonauts this weekend.
