Thanks for the education everyone. The links and info you provided are helpful. I didn't really look at anything but the websites from both schools so I don't know what the numbers are that the selection committee takes into consideration. Maybe Bowdoin's numbers are better than Moravian's but at first glance it just didn't appear that was the case. I guess my main question was answered though in that it is possible that one team could have better selection criteria numbers than a team from another region but the committee would not displace them because of travel expenses. I would not expect to see any upsets on day 1 in the Mid-Atlantic regional but I have to root for the Cinderella story from the Landmark. They have a tough road ahead. Hopefully they give Kean a decent game and represent the conference well. On any given day....ya never know.

Bowdoin? Thought for sure that they would be out. Doesn't make sense that a team like Moravain (and probably several other good teams) gets passed over and Bowdoin goes to a regional when they have a team BA of .268 and Moravian is .337. Moravian played one more game and had 150 more hits as a team. Moravian scored 148 more runs. Moravian had 40 more doubles, had 225 more AB's and struck out 30 fewer times. Don't get me wrong, I applaud Bowdoin for making the regional and wish them luck. I like the underdog. However, I don't understand the logic. There must be a ton of factors that go into the decision making process. Maybe it's more logistics than logic or statistics when it comes down to the last few teams? Distance? No MId-Atlantic teams ever go to CT? Maybe I'm just missing something obvious. Being a newby to this I would appreciate any insight that helps me better understand. Good luck to all teams in your regionals.

Do you think there is any chance for Moravian to get a Pool C bid this year? They played some pretty tough competition compared to last year. Beat Heidelberg early on and lost a 2-run game to them. Beat Haverford. Lost to Miseracordia by one run in extra innings and spanked DeSales. Lost to Montclaire St. by one with mostly freshman on the field. Had some pretty good NCAA stats as a team. The whole process is very confusing to me. Is there a set number of teams that get bids from each region or are your pool C predictions based on teams you expect to get bids from other regions in addition to the info from the Mid-Atlantic teams? Would have been nice to see how Moravian fared during those weekday games with the weekend pitching staff. This is really interesting stuff. Thanks for your insight.
