Softball/Baseball Update--Part 1

Have you been wondering how your favorite baseball and/or softball team within D2 South Nation is doing lately?  D2SS has the answers for you, starting with softball.

Note: All records listed are as of April 11, 2011.

Gulf South Conference:  With one loss, as well as one tie, being the only blemishes on a otherwise outstanding record, No. 1 (NFCA) Alabama-Huntsville (35-1-1 overall) has a commanding lead in the East Division with a 19-0 mark in GSC play, while No. 4 (NFCA) Valdosta State (25-6) is all but locked into the No. 2 position.  Meanwhile, Arkansas Tech (25-13, 16-3) has a firm grip on first place in the West Division, despite being nationally unranked, with Ouachita Baptist (15-17, 9-7) currently a distant second.  Arkansas-Monticello (29-10, 9-9) has struggled to a .500 mark in GSC action despite being the 20th ranked team in the nation.

Peach Belt Conference: No. 3 (NFCA) North Georgia (42-9, 16-3) has clinched the PBC regular season title for the third straight season, as the Saints will be the top seed heading into the PBC tournament.  On the other hand, No. 22 Armstrong Atlantic State (28-10, 13-7) is barely hanging onto second place, while Columbus State (36-13, 12-7) hoped to overtake the Pirates for the No. 2 seed going into the PBC tourney on Friday, April 15.

SIAC: It's a wide-open race heading down the stretch, as Fort Valley State (18-16, 17-5) and Clark-Atlanta (29-13, 18-8) are both separated by mere percentage points in the East, while Kentucky State (15-17, 15-7) and Tuskegee (20-13-1, 15-7) are tied for first place in the West.  Can anybody say, "it's anybody's SIAC tournament to win?"
