The ABAC baseball and softball teams will wrap up their regular seasons this week, while the Stallion golf team participates in its first Southern States Athletic Conference tournament.

The Stallion team will consist of Alex Hays, Wheeler Ryan, Aren Flanders, Sebastian Gonzalez, and Stewart Rustin while Whit Hayes will participate in the individual competition. Defending NAIA national champion Dalton State College is the favorite in the event as the Roadrunners have won eight of the last nine conference titles. Other teams participating include Blue Mountain Christian, Brewton-Parker, Faulkner, Loyola, Mobile, Point, Tennessee Southern, and William Carey. The championship runs through Wednesday.
 
The ABAC baseball team wraps up its inaugural SSAC regular season by hosting the Thomas University Night Hawks in a three-game set.

The Stallions won 5-2 in Tifton in February before topping the Night Hawks 12-5 in Thomasville two weeks ago. The top eight conference teams qualify for next week's SSAC tournament, and Thomas is currently eighth.
