Wow Webster has 177 stolen bases on the year...that's mind boggling...

I'll give their coach credit...eith he just pitched his ace because or he knew CNU struggless against LH pitching.  Either way right now CNU no match!!!!!!!!

Somebodies Flying in. 

Actually had some fun mapping out the Auto qaulifiers...had to make a few guesses but really none of the guess schools were close anyway.

Notwithstanding POOL B/C teams of the 38 automatics only 4 are within 500 miles of millington Manchester In. (HCAC), crawfordsville, In. (NCAC) and SLIAC St Louis MO, and Bloomington, Il...but Bloomington (Ill wesleyan) is already a host.

Alleycat,

I'd agree with you if the South Regional was not being played in the midwest.  Literally only 12 of 38 South region teams are within the "magic" 500 mile radius for the NCAA South Region in Millington.

So, really only the SCAC and GSAC winner is close enough.  That means that probably 4 or maybe 5 teams (since Catholic won the LAND)  are going to have to go somewhere else if they are not flown.  I'd say NY, Mideast and Mid Atlantic will all get some.

SU played without 2 of its all-conference players yesterday due to finals, and Frostburg pitched their ace showing it was a big game for them!  Seeing how he shut down SU I'd say he was a quality pitcher and his stats back that up......But all credit to Frostburg!

Today is senior Day at SU so I suspect alot of starters will sit in deference to seniors (as it should be).  Coach A stays with his prorities and it shows that school and commitment to his seniors takes precedence over winning games. 

SU will give a good account of themselves wherever they play. 

The Frostburg/Salisbury/MW comment brings up a question for you veterans...when a conference is split between regions how do they consider it?  Frostburg is Mid-Atlantic while Salisbury and MW are South?

Also, SU IMO would best be served to go to Auburn NY rather than New jersey.  If the rankings mean anything Cortland state is the highest rated NY region team and they aren't even in top 10 so putting a strong team in that regional would just make sense.

That said, I would think the NCAA would be obliged to send all POOL A qualifiers to their respective regions or why have them in the first place.  If they don't they'll look stupid for having the regional in Millington, Tn.

Well you know the NCAA hiccuped (again) when only 12 of 38 teams in the South region are within 500 miles of Millington Tn. 

When you factor that ineptitude with the normal NCAA efficiency...you could get all the South teams sent 800 miles packing.

Hopefully they disperse the highest rated  teams so that they don't all knock each other out in the regionals.
