vcu and GMU are both middling in the 16-17 record realm.

**It is humorous to me that vcu gets automatically put in under case.

It's been a while--GMU has been having a nice season (28-22).

Final series of the regular season runs Thursday-Saturday and is in Fairfax.

Mason is peaking at the right time, they have won 6 in a row and 11 out of 14.

Looks like A-10 is considered a 1 bid league.

2023 NCAA Tournament Projected Field of 64 (5/17/23)

It’s crunch time around college baseball. Teams will have very few opportunities to improve their standing. Most teams have just one regular-season series remaining before the frenetic week of conference tournaments begins.

Yes, I would expect the A10 champ to be one of the lowest 4 seeds, if not the last. SJU is our highest rpi team at 152, which is lower than any other conference's top rpi team - so A10 champ is very likely to be the lowest ranked team in the field.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

I will give CAA the advantage when it comes to college baseball. A10 was a drop down in that regard.

Baseball advances to quarterfinals with wild 5-4 win over 3 seed Dayton. Led 4-2 but Dayton tied it in bottom of 9th, before Mason took lead again in 11th and held off Dayton rally in bottom of 11th to win.

Face 2 seed Davidson today at 3pm who used their top two pitchers yesterday (for 3 and 4 innings each). Not sure if they will be available today. Shields will probably get the start for Mason (high strike out rate and respectable WHIP of 1.24) and will have his hands full with their line up - lots of HR power.

Mason and Davidson did not play each other during the regular season.

 

[phoenix-arizona]

GMU puts 15 up against Davidson to advance. No story up yet from Gomason.com.

I think GMU gets Saint Louis next (Friday).

#6 Mason plays #4 St. Louis at 11am tomorrow morning. If Mason loses, they pretty much play again right away (game is listed as 3pm) against the winner of tonight's game (#1 St. Joseph's vs. #3 Dayton, game is at 7pm - loser of this game is eliminated)

If Mason wins tomorrow's game vs St. Louis, they will advance to the A10 Championship Game on Saturday at noon. If they were to lose the 1st game on Saturday, they would play again right after in a winner take all final game

Read that over and over again in the mirror. Fantastic that these are options.

Another follow-up on Wake Forest in the College World Series. They're now 2-0 and can advance with 1 more win in the next 2 games. These games have been a lot closer than earlier ones in the regional and super regionals.

No. 1 Wake Forest rallies past LSU late in MCWS

Bennett Lee drove in the go-ahead run in the 8th after he made a huge defensive play at the plate to lead No. 1 Wake Forest to a 3-2 win over LSU in the Men's College World Series.

LSU advances, wins 2 in a row vs Wake, plays Florida in best of 3 Finals. Link to the details of last night's extra inning elimination game:
