Getting your player ready...
Florida International’s Garrett Wittels is taking his pursuit of the Division I hitting-streak record to the NCAA Tournament. Wittels got a hit in his 54th straight game as FIU beat Troy 14-10 on Sunday in the championship game of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, clinching a berth in the NCAA field. The Golden Panthers (36-23) will find out which regional they’ll be sent to today, knowing they’re probably off to either Gainesville, Fla., or nearby Coral Gables this weekend. Wittels was 2-for-6 on Sunday, moving within four games of matching Robin Ventura’s record of 58 straight games with a hit set in 1987 for Oklahoma State. The Associated Press
