We got run-ruled (11-0 in seven) Wednesday by NIU, a team we swept last weekend.

How does that happen?

We're lucky it IS a double-elimination tournament.

down 3-1 to KSU going into the 7th. We've had a ton of chances, multiple runners in 4/6 innings, just haven't been able to cash in.

That’s easy…NIU threw their ace Game 1 of the tourney (the dude is 8-0 on the season). They only let him pitch 1.0 tune-up inning last weekend. To borrow the old Jim Leyland baseball saying…”momentum is your next day’s starting pitcher”.

And, to top it off, Miami wins the regular season title then goes 0-2 in the MAC tourney. As they say…”that’s baseball!”.
