Is it any other schools finals week? It is at NIU. I wonder how that works. Do they take the test before they leave or after they get back?

NIU comes from behind to beat Miami 2-1. Miami and Ohio U tomorrow morning at 11. Loser goes home.

Next up: CMU and BG.

Thx for the updates, Axeme.

Wow, what a catch by the Ohio center fielder. Fantastic.

From the comments

Quote:A fly ball that was caught while running at half speed, only to be interrupted by a T-ball fence that someone forgot to remove. Meh

Ball St. eliminates Toledo. I didn't catch the final, but they were leading 10-0 in the 7th. They will play at 7:30 the winner of the game between KSU and Ohio that just started. KSU up 2-0 in the top of the 2nd.

Five hour rain delay took the steam out of the tourney yesterday. Must have been very late by the time they finished. Ohio and CMU won. CMU is the last undefeated team left and will await whoever survives the loser's bracket games today.

Ball State vs. Ohio 11:00 AM ET

Game 13
Northern Illinois vs. Winner Game 12 1:30 PM ET

Game 14
Winner 13 vs. Central Michigan 4:00 PM ET

Ball State beats Ohio on a game winning triple that drove in the winning run in the 7th, then loses to NIU 4-3, putting NIU vs. CMU as the Championship.

CMU got a walk-off 2 run HR in the bottom of the 11th inning to take the championship 4-2. Congrats Chips!
