UConn baseball holds a slight lead for the Big East regular-season crown

If they can outperform Xavier this weekend, the Huskies would clinch their third straight regular season title.

The final weekend of the regular season is here. At the conclusion of play on Saturday, the four-team field for the Big East Tournament at Prasco Park in Mason, Ohio will be decided.

St. John’s and Butler have each been eliminated, while Villanova, two-and-a-half games behind current 4-seed Creighton, will be eliminated with a Bluejays win or a loss this weekend.

UConn and Xavier have each clinched a spot in the tournament with the Huskies currently a half-game ahead of the Musketeers. These two teams are competing for the league’s regular season title.
