A little bit of good will from Azusa to their future conference.
Gray Fox, is it an above average venue for the SCIAC?

Azusa is not a great facility. Probably better than Occidental, but that's it. CMS has used it as their "home" field when available and will be moving into their brand new facility next year.

What an end-of-the-season choke!
NPI #3 Salve fell twice to NPI #55 Babson in the NEWMAC tourney. Salve's hosting is not  likely gone, but a bubble did burst.

Baldwin Wallace holds off Ohio Northern (NPI #45) (OAC).
A bubble is preserved. ONU jumped from NPI #56 to 45 yesterday with 2 OAC tourney wins. Let's see what this loss does.

Endicott takes 2 from Western New England. A bubble holds.

By my assessment, Trinity TX at NPI #47 is the 1st one out.
Arguably, you can say that Babson at NPI #49, the NEWMAC AQ instead of Salve Regina at NPI#4, knocked Trinity TX out of the tourney.

The  D3 baseball.com gurus are deferring to the Championship Committee chair and going with the top 16 teams by NPI. That means that there will be 7 flights, the 5 Region 10 teams plus Bridgewater VA and Salisbury.

By the numbers, no Region 10 team will make it to Super Regionals.

So who is Adrian hosting in place of?

I had a post all set ready to go this afternoon with what I thought the Midwest/Central Region brackets might look like and I figured they would need to have Adrian host despite being #17 in NPI so that there were three area host (in addition to Whitewater and WashU.)

I saw a mock earlier that had Pomona hosting JHU, CMS, and Aurora. While I don't think it's realistic, it sure would be fun to see those teams hit a bunch of bombs out of Pomona's short right field.
