The field is set for the 2025 Conference USA Baseball Championship and the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs will be the No. 5 seed in the 8-team event, double elimination format.
Tech earned the seed after taking two out of three against New Mexico State this past weekend in the final regular season series of the year. The Bulldogs won Game 1 12-7 and Game 3 8-1 but fell 10-5 in the middle contest of the series.
DBU will be the top seed for the second time in three years, ending the regular season with a 38-14 overall record and an 21-6 mark in CUSA action.
The Championship features the top eight teams in regular season league play. The format is two double elimination brackets, with four teams each, with the winners of each bracket meeting in a single elimination championship contest.
The tournament is set to begin at 8 a.m. CT on Wednesday, May 21, as No. 3 seed Kennesaw State (29-25, 17-9 CUSA) takes on No. 6 seed FIU (30-25, 13-13 CUSA). The Owls swept the Panthers on home turf back in April.
Wednesday’s second matchup features No. 2 seed WKU (42-12, 18-9 CUSA) and No. 7 seed NM State (23-31, 11-15 CUSA) at 11:30 a.m. CT. The Hilltoppers swept the Aggies in Las Cruces two weekends ago.
The top seed of the tournament, DBU, will take on host and No. 8-seeded Liberty (30-25, 10-17 CUSA) at 3 p.m. CT on Wednesday. The Patriots took two of three from the Flames to cap off the regular season in Lynchburg.
Day one of the action will conclude with No. 4 seed Jax State (33-23, 15-12 CUSA) and No. 5 seed LA Tech (31-23, 14-12 CUSA) at 6:30 p.m. CT. The Gamecocks won two of three in early May in Jacksonville, Ala.
The 2025 CUSA Championship will be played at a member home site for the fifth consecutive season, and the 21st time in league history. The Championship Game on Sunday, May 25, at 1 p.m. ET, will be nationally televised by CBS Sports Network, while all other games will be aired on ESPN+.
