Buffalo's pitcher walks home the winning run in the bottom of the 12th. Akron advances to their first MAC championship game since 1996.

A trip to Avon from Cincinnati may be in order if it is a KSU-Akron championship.

KSU 12 / 000 030 324 H 13 E 3
WMU 2 / 000 101 000 H 8 E 2
Onto a Wagon Wheel Special Baseball Championship ... AFAIU, both schools coming in from the winner's bracket, its a single game championship.

Its an awful lot like a dual-home-game as it is. Its what, an hour away from both Universities?
When it was more like 4 hours drive from either Kent's or Akron's opponents in the semi-finals.

Would you consider a game in Sandusky a home game for BG and Toledo? Or one in Grand Rapids for WMU and CMU?
Avon may be an hour away from Akron and Kent, but there's no direct way to get to it. The drive is L-shaped and way out-of-the-way unless you're coming directly from Cleveland. It's multiple counties away from either university.

As a supposed neutral ground, an awful lot like it, yeah.
Quote: Or one in Grand Rapids for WMU and CMU?
A touch closer to WMU than CMU, but, again, as a supposed neutral ground, pretty close.

I understand that an Akron supporter would be quite happy for the game to be at their alternate home ground, but its still about an hour's drive from either school, and much closer to either school than to any other school at the tournament.

The Flashes have won a few games at Avon, during this and the last 2 MAC tournaments. We were 4-0 in 2012, last a couple in 2013, but are 3-0 this year

RE: MAC Championship: Baseball
The game is blacked out in Ohio because of that stupid TWC Sports deal. Whoever thought it was a good idea to grant exclusivity to a single cable provider should be tossed into the Cuyahoga River.

Supposedly, there is a nice crowd at the game. It sure would have been nice to see it.
