Conway, S.C. - The 10th seeded ULM Warhawks had their run in the Sun Belt Conference Championship come to an abrupt end on Saturday, losing twice to fifth seed Coastal Carolina, 26-10 and 10-6, at Springs Brooks Stadium.

Coastal Carolina will face second seed Georgia Southern for the SBC title on Sunday afternoon in Conway.

In the first game of the day, ULM was strong early, taking a 1-0 lead on an RBI single by Chad Bell in the first inning, scoring Joey Jordan. After Coastal tied the game in the second, ULM regained the lead in the bottom half of the inning when Blake Buckman scored on a wild pitch and Braedon Barrett's sacrifice fly brought home Masen Prososki for a 3-1 lead. Again, Coastal tied the game in the next half inning before ULM regained the lead again in the third inning. Buckman and Prososki picked up an RBI single each to expand the lead back to 5-3. Again, Coastal answered to tie the game at 5 after three-and-a-half innings.

ULM appeared to break the door down in the bottom of the fourth inning. Andrew Beesley hit an RBI single, scoring Braedon Barrett, and Ryan Humeniuk picked up a two-RBI triple. Buckman capped the inning with an RBI single to plate Humeniuk for the 9-5 lead.

After Kolton Childress worked a scoreless top of the fifth inning, the Warhawks put the first two men on base in the bottom of the fifth with Barrett drawing a walk and Joey Jordan was hit by a pitch. The Warhawks seemingly had momentum on their side, but the game was delayed due to lightning for 58 minutes. After the delay, it was all Coastal Carolina, as the Chanticleers got out of the inning without any further damage, and outscored ULM 21-1 over the final four innings for the 26-10 win.

Humeniuk also had an RBI double in the game one loss.

In the second game, Coastal picked up where they left off, building a 5-0 lead through an inning. ULM scored all six of its runs on two-run home runs in the contest. Chad Bell hit a two-run home run in the third inning to tie the school single season record for most home runs. Carson Klepzig hit his first homer of the season, a two-run shot to left center, and Bell hit hihs second homer of the night to bring the Warhawks within 10-6. However, the Warhawks could not get any closer.
