Baseball draws South Suburban in regional opener

5/4/2026 10:13:00 PM

The Triton College baseball team will be the No. 4 seed in the Region 4 Division I Baseball Tournament. Under the current tournament format, the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds will host opening round games Wednesday, May 6 at 3pm. The Trojans will open on the road against top seeded South Suburban College in South Holland.

Triton (20-23-1) lost both regular season meetings with the Bulldogs (38-14), falling 13-10 in 10 innings on April 6 at Symonds-Puckett Field. Then three weeks later, South Suburban won the rematch at home 21-11.

After the first two games, the rest of the double-elimination tournament May 7 and 8 will be played at South Suburban by virtue of the Bulldogs being the No. 1 seed.

The Region 4 champion advances to the Midwest District Tournament May 13-16, hosted by Region 24 (Lower Illinois Champion). The district champion qualifies for the NJCAA World Series in Grand Junction, Co.
