Different Regionals different rules. At NY Regional, EConn plays parts of THREE games on Friday. EConn starts Friday completing a rain delayed Cortland game(ECONN lost). Then beats Clarkson. Then starts a game vs. Brockport at 11pm.  However at foggy New England Region, WNEC stays undefeated beating Bridgewater State thinking they would play late Saturday afternoon for the championship vs. the winner of the Wheaton/St. Joe game winner vs. Bridgewater. But the Wheaton vs. St. Joe's game was suspended in the seventh inning tonight due to fog so they will finish on Saturday. The winner will then play Bridgewater. WNEC being undefeated should the play late Saturday  afternoon.  HOWEVER, unlike the NY regional preference to play-on, WNEC's advantage of playing a team who had already played Saturday was taken away by having the Championship game or games moved to Sunday. The undefeated advantage of WNEC is diminished due to this QUESTIONABLE scheduling change. Two regions Two different formats????  Obviously, whoever plays WNEC in the finals is advantaged by this NCAA/ECAC decision. They get a nights rest when in the past they would have played their 2nd game of the day vs. WNEC.

WNEC gains an extra days rest for their pitchers. Don't overlook that advantage.

WNEC doesn't need the extra day compared to Wheaton and Bridgewater.  This helps those teams out tremendously.  Compared to WNEC, Bridgewater will have played one more game and Wheaton will have played two more games.

WNEC over Bridgewater (WNEC usually slips up once per tournament in the early rounds is this the year they go all the way to The Little Apple?)

Back at it today.

WNEC needs Matt Rodgers to close this thing out. The extra days rest was to WNEC's benefit for him. WNEC wins and heads to The Little Apple.

(Warning: WNEC needs to close this out in Game 1!)

WNEC headed to Appleton!!! Congrats to Coach LaBranche and the GBear Express! Couldn't be more proud to be a Golden Bear. All of the work put in for so long has finally payed off. The pitching was phenomenal all week, along with very solid defense and timely hitting. Carry the momentum to Appleton and make New England proud!

Congratulations WNEC!!! Amazing pitching throughout the tournament as WNEC had a 1.25 ERA through their 4 games and their starting pitching had a 0.62 ERA.  It doesn't get much better than that.

The Field is WIDE open.  Bring back the hardware WNEC.  Best of luck.

I agree foto, WNEC has a very good draw, granted at this point everyone is good, but Marietta and Kean are probably the best 2 teams, and Chapman is probably the best day 1 team.  All three of those teams are on the other side of the bracket with World Series veteran Salisbury.  As the home team, another World Series veteran Wisconsin-Whitewater must be absolutely loving their draw, as Buena Vista, Keystone, and WNEC are all rookies to the World Series.

From the looks of things at the start of the CWS week, Marietta looks to roll over everyone, but...... you really never know these days.
Again, its who is hot during the next week, as seen last year with Illinois Wesleyan!!!
