The Conway Christian Eagles head off to the 2A 5-North District Baseball Tournament this weekend at Poyen as the No. 1 seed.
The tournament begins Thursday, and the Eagles (17-6, 5-0) await the winner of the game between the fourth and fifth seeds, Abundant Life and England, in Saturday's semifinals.
WIth the top seed, CCS earned a bye to the semis and an automatic berth in next week's regional.
“We want to keep up the momentum,” CCS coach Shane Davis said. “We are in survive-and-advance mode right now.”
The Eagles took the district title after going through conference play unbeaten.
“We know Abundant Life is good offensively and they’re a team that does not quit,” Davis said. “If they win on Friday, which they should, they’ll have momentum going into the game on Saturday.”
The Eagles were scheduled to play last week in non-conference play; however, all their games were cancelled due to rain.
“It’ll have been 11 days since we’ve played, so we’re just hoping to get some good practice in on Thursday and Friday to get set for Saturday’s game,” Davis said.
Conway Christian’s first game in the tournament will be Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
