Congrats to Rhodes.
At NPI ranking of #40, 2 losses in the tourney might have knocked Rhodes out of an at-large bid. After May 9th games, I had Rhodes as the #22 at-large bid (of 23 total). In the SUNYAC, Oswego went 2-and BBQ and lost 10 slots in the rankings.

As I see it, because of the rain-out, Centre may have been denied a Regional Hosting at NPI #17, but the SAA extended their prowess as a Baseball Power Conference with 3 bids.

I think Trinity will have a sufficiently strong NPI to earn a Pool C bid, if they do not win the conference.

Former B-SC coach Jan Weisberg will make his D1 head coaching debut Friday when his Eastern Kentucky Colonels travel to Alabama State for a three-game set.  He was previously the HC at D2 Valdosta State, where he led the team to a 30-22 record.  He will have his work cut out, leading a team that after an 11-44 season (8-22 American Sun) lost 28 players from its roster.  Only 18, and only three starters, return.
