ATLANTA—The Oglethorpe baseball team hits the road for the Southern Athletic Association tournament this weekend in Rome, Georgia. The Stormy Petrels finished the regular season in a three-way tie for fourth after winning five of seven SAA series, ultimately landing the No. 5 seed.

Tournament Information

• Location: AdventHealth Stadium in Rome, Ga.
• Format: Double Elimination
• First Game: Thursday, May 7, at 1:15 p.m. vs. Centre in the second game of the day
• With a Win: Advances to face either top-seeded Trinity or No. 2-seeded Rhodes in the third or fourth game of Thursday.

Oglethorpe's opening-round matchup will give the team a great opportunity for redemption as the Petrels were swept by Centre in a three-game road set during the regular season. The Colonels and Lynx of Rhodes were the only two teams to win their series against Oglethorpe this year.

A loss Thursday would send Oglethorpe to the losers bracket to face the loser of Thursday's first game between Berry and Sewanee.

The SAA championship game is set for Saturday at 4:30 p.m. A repeat, "if necessary," game of the two teams competing for the title would be Sunday at 12 p.m. if neither team has suffered its second loss.
