Hawks Take 4th Seed, Set To Battle Maryville In CCS Tournament First Round
ATLANTA, Ga.- The Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) has announced the bracket and seedings for the 2026 CCS Baseball Championship Tournament, set for Wednesday, April 29 through Saturday, May 2 at Trustmark Park.
Tournament play begins Wednesday, April 29, with three opening-round matchups:
- No. 2 seed Belhaven (28-11, 12-6 CCS) faces No. 5 seed LaGrange (18-18, 7-11 CCS) to open the tournament.
- No. 1 seed Piedmont (26-13, 12-6 CCS) takes on No. 6 seed Asbury (14-26, 7-11 CCS) in the second game of the day.
- No. 3 seed Maryville (26-14, 10-8 CCS) meets No. 4 seed Huntingdon (24-14, 9-9 CCS) to close out opening-day action.
Piedmont secured the top seed after winning the head-to-head tiebreaker over Belhaven during the regular season, while Maryville earned the No. 3 seed with a head-to-head advantage over Huntingdon. LaGrange claimed the No. 5 seed based on their regular season results against Asbury.
