No clue how the NCAA comes up with this stuff.  Great for Oswego!  They can absolutely win that terrible region!!  Cortland basically only has to beat East Conn. to go to dance as well.  Fisher has been to NCAA 6 times in 11 years...only played in NY regional once during that time, 2010.  Them and Rochester get absolutely hosed in a loaded Marietta regional.  Not sure how this is come up with honestly...this makes no sense.  If Oswego can pitch at all, they go to the series.  The 4-6 seeds in the two regions in New York and Hartford...ouch.  Not cool.  How is Misericordia a three seed?  My goodness...this stuff is crazy.

What a bummer that UWSP isn’t going to make regionals given their record and the wealth of talent they have. They would undoubtedly win 5 of the 8 projected regionals on d3 baseballs projections.

They at least came back and pounded a good LaCrosse team and put up 12 runs. If they beat Stout tomorrow and then lose to Whitewater i don’t see any way a 32 win UWSP team doesn’t make regionals. Is the Stout loss today embarrassing and a huge blow yes absolutely but even with mediocre pitching I wouldn’t want To face the Pointers with that lineup. Has to be the best offense in all of d3 top to bottom no easy outs.

With Stevens Point being ranked #6 in the latest Midwest Regional Rankings, and there only being six Pool B/C bids this year, the only way they are making the Regionals this year is by winning three straight Saturday and Sunday against Stout and Whitewater.
 You already have the #1 ranked team in the West (Trinity, TX) likely claiming on of those six bids, and the #4 team in the South (Berry) also losing out on their Pool A bid puts them in the conversation as well.

When a quarter of your wins (8) are against a team that went 0-37, it does a number on your SOS, especially in a year like this where there weren't any Spring Trips to see some of those usual inter-region match-ups.  When you look at it from an intra-region aspect, it's possible the #1 (St. Thomas) and #3 (Gustavus Adolphus) will also be looking for one of those precious few Pool C bids too, as St. Thomas needs to beat St. Mary's twice tomorrow to secure the MIAC Tournament crown.  You also could be looking at having the #2 and #3 Central Region teams (North Central and Augustana) in the Pool C conversation as well, as Augustana was already eliminated from the CCIW tournament and North Central is in the same position as Stevens Point in needing to win three straight to win the Pool A bid.

Again, it's Pool A or nothing for Stevens Point....  You can bet the farm on it!
