CSS puts up 2 in the 13th and still batting with a runner on 2nd
#32
CSS/Aurora go to the 11th
#33
another run for aurora 4-4 after 7. CSS slowly letting it slip away while squandering offensive opportunities
#34
Aurora gets 3 back in the bottom of 6, still down 4-3 to CSS.
#35
CSS puts up 3 in the top of the 3rd to go up 3-0 over Aurora
#36
CSS wins 8-7. North Park had the leadoff batter on the last 3 innings but couldn't push a run across.
#37
Agreed. CSS's pitching staff lacks a true ace (especially without Andy Davis) so might be part of the reason, but still surprising none the less.

CSS up 8-7 now in the bottom of 8, North Park has a leadoff single
#38
North Park and CSS tied 7-7 bottom of 7. Poor pitching and fielding on both sides.
#39
What are we going to be seeing for pitching matchups?

I don't think there is a year since 05' where i haven't been baffled by the seeding for the Midwest.

Here are the Midwest Teams SOS that were D3 but don't think they include conf tourney but should be in the general neighborhood. Someone may have more up to date.

Thomas 14
LAX 41
North Park 131
UWW 30
Concordia 55
CSS 76
Aurora 175
St. Norbert 155

North Park is the specific reason why I am baffled every year. All i hear every year is SOS is what helps the WIAC teams but hurts CSS. Then you look at North Park and they are 3 seeds ahead of CSS with a worse SOS and with CSS going 3-3 against UWW, UST, LAX 3 of the top 4 seeds.  I also think UWW got a little too much love which other people eluded too.  (my 2 cents)

However I do not think it makes much difference if you are 3, 4, 5, or 6th seed this year or even most years but whether you are the 2nd or 3rd seed can make a difference. Fortunately this year it was pretty cut and dry for 1 and 2.

FYI North Park's record is listed incorrectly on both their projections and playoff field release.

So... Will St. Johns go west? Maybe St. Norbert? Maybe both...

What about concordia?
#42
St. Johns wins 10-5 for the MIAC AQ. Throws a little wrench into things
#43
St Johns puts up a 7 spot in the bottom of 3 in game 2 to go up 7-1.

So how will the last regional ranking shake out?  Here is my guess...

1. LAX
2. St. Thomas
3. Whitewater
4. CSS
5. Aurora
6. Conc Ill
7.  St. Johns
8.  Stevens Point



I could see LAX and STU being flipped if the Tommies come back and win their tourney today.  How far does St. Johns climb if they win the MIAC tourney?

There is going to be some interesting match-ups at the regional... will be curious to see how it lines up if it does become an 8 team event.

my guess (without knowing exact in-region records and what not)

1. St. Thomas (if they win 2 today)
2. LAX
3. CSS---probably end up being 4
4. Aurora
5. UWW---have a hard time putting them any higher considering they went 2-8 against UST (1-1), LAX (0-6), CSS (1-1)
6.  Concordia
7. St. Johns (if win today)
8.  ?? Don't think I have ever seen more than 6 teams ranked so ill stop at 7.

This is what I think, but what I think and what the NCAA thinks are 2 different things
