• SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE BASEBALL TOURNAMENT: It's Miller time!

  The Bearkats found out last year how tough it was to get to the championship game from the losers’ bracket.
  In order to have a chance at a Southland Conference tournament title, the Kats had to find a way to come out on top in their tournament opener on Wednesday against McNeese State.
  Thanks to opportunistic hitting and some flashy glove work, along with a solid performance from starting pitcher Tyler Eppler, top-seeded Sam Houston State pulled off an 8-3 victory over the Cowboys at Constellation Field.

• BEARKAT BASEBALL — Kats win again, head into conference tourney with plenty of momentum

  Having already clinched the outright Southland Conference regular-season championship on Friday night and the No. 1 seed in this week’s conference tournament a night earlier, the Bearkats didn’t have much to gain from Saturday afternoon’s series finale against Central Arkansas. Still, the Kats certainly didn’t want to go into this week on the heels of a loss and rallied late to end the regular season with 6-5 victory as well as completing a series sweep against the Bears.

  Catcher Ashley Isbell remembers the Bearkats’ softball doubleheader against Houston Baptist like it was played yesterday.
  The Kats were trailing the Huskies 4-3 going into the bottom of the seventh of the first game. Isbell was coming to the plate. Isbell, who was named to the All-Southland Conference team earlier this week, fouled a ball off the plate. Crazily, the ball bounced up and hit Isbell in the mouth.
