RE: MAC Baseball Championship
Worth noting that the baseball tourney is six teams now that the MAC has only ten who sponsor the sport. Miami just took two of three from Kent if it comes to that in the finals.

RE: MAC Baseball Championship
Of course, the third game was anti-climactic after KSU celebrated the regular season title and the one seed after the second game in the series. Even with the regular season ending loss, KSU was two games clear of Ball St. and Miami.

True, though the second win gave Miami their bye over Ball State. Here's the bracket for those interested:

RE: MAC Baseball Championship
Yesterday, EMU was the first team eliminated. Today opens with another loser’s bracket game between Toledo and CMU @10:00 (CMU leads 3-1 in the 4th). The winner plays Ball St. @. 2:00. The winner’s bracket final of KSU vs. Miami is at 6:00.

On Saturday, whoever survives among UT-CMU-Ball St. plays the KSU-Miami loser at 12:30. The championship game is at 6:00. If both teams then have one loss, a final championship game will be played on Sunday at noon.

CMU eliminates Toledo 6-5 and are about ready to face Ball St.

So far, the higher seed has won every game.

CMU eliminates Ball St. 7-2 and will play the loser of this evening’s KSU v. Miami game tomorrow at 12:30.

The 4-seeded Chips break the streak of higher seeds winning by knocking off the 3 seed.

KSU ran out to a 7-0 lead and shutout Miami until the 9th and wins 7-2 to send Miami to the loser’s bracket to face CMU Saturday at 12:30.

RE: MAC Baseball Championship
Miami outlasted CMU 9-8 to move on to face KSU in the Championship round. That game was weather delayed almost two hours but is just now getting started. Flashes are throwing two-time first team All-MAC starter Eli Krauss. Miami is pitching Spencer Mraz. Miami needs a win to force a final game Sunday.

Flash pitchers combine on a two-hit shutout as KSU takes the championship 14-0. In two games vs. the 2 seed, KSU outscored Miami 21-2.

It was actually KSU's Eli Kraus with a complete game SO, 2 hits and 12 Ks. Very impressive.

Hopefully 39-16 is good enough to avoid the 4 seed. Interesting that KSU is only one of three teams to beat Arkansas in Fayetteville this year-- they have an incredible 30-3 record at home including 14-1 in SEC play.

RE: MAC Baseball Championship
Good catch! I had turned the sound off on my laptop once the game was a blowout and was watching basketball, and for some reason, thought I saw a different pitcher in and never looked at the final box score. Obviously I was mistaken!

Great outing for a guy that was KSU's #1 starter for 2 years , even coming into this season, but had dropped to #3 in the rotation behind Joey Murray who has won two MAC Pitcher of the Year awards and is currently a finalist for the top pitcher in the country award.

RE: MAC Baseball Championship
Just noticed Miami pitchers hit two batters to load the bases during the game and hit three others to force in runs. That's a rare one in college ball.

Congrats to the Flashes, we just ran out of pitching. Make it to the CWS again or else I'm gonna demand the MAC kicks you out for dragging down the conference. 03-wink

For his performance in the championship game last week, pitcher Eli Kraus was named national player of the week by Baseball News. He was also named tournament MVP.
