The final two games of South Alabama's three-game series with Troy were cancelled due to adverse weather and field conditions, clinching the regular-season Sun Belt championship for the Jaguars.

Second-place Troy needed to sweep the three-game series in order to claim the title, and the Trojans defeated the Jaguars 2-1 in 10 innings on Thursday night. But stormy weather on Friday night forced Game 2 to be pushed into a doubleheader with the third game on Saturday, and wet field conditions and intermittent rain showers ultimately forced the cancellation of the last two games.

South Alabama finished 34-19 and 19-9 in Sun Belt play, clinching the top seed in the Sun Belt Conference tournament, set for May 20-24 in Troy. They'll open the tournament at 12:30 p.m. Wed., May 20 against No. 8 seed Arkansas State (25-28, 12-17).

The Trojans finished regular-season play at 30-23 and 18-10.

The Sun Belt title was the Jaguars' second under head coach Mark Calvi and the program's 15th overall.

"We have pitched really well all year long," Calvi said. "In games that we haven't pitched well, those are some of the games we have lost - where made some mistakes on the mound. But our pitchers have pitched well pretty much all year long. Our offense struggled to get some big hits early, but once they came together and realized what they needed to do offensively then we started to play as a unit. We pitched well and we were tough on offense.

"These kids are tough outs. It was a bunch of good players and really good seniors who figured out how they needed to play offensively, and came together as a unit. It was a total team effort, and you could see them feeding off of each other."
