Am I correct in assuming the Top 6 teams get in?

[Just Bill]

Yes. There's a web page and everything...

[Look It Up]

Day two of the NAC tournament: CUC and Benedictine are both 2-0 and headed for a showdown on Saturday morning. Also still in the running is Wisconsin Lutheran who eliminated Concordia Wisconsin and Aurora on Friday.

[Look It Up]

Day three: CUC will be in the championship round after beating Benedictine 8-6. The Eagles' bid for a rematch against the Cougars is being challenged right now as Wisconsin Lutheran leads the Eagles 3-1 in the fifth.

I'm more surprised how WLC is faring in the tournament so far. They don't look like they are a team that is set on just making to the conference tournament for the first time in school history.

[Look It Up]

WLC now up 5-1 in the sixth and still batting. Back-to-back triples and a suicide squeeze have plated a pair of runs.

[Look It Up]

And Wisconsin Lutheran does hold off Benedictine 5-1. The Warriors will now advance to play CUC in the championship round. WLC must win twoce while CUC needs only one. Game begins at 4:30, second game if necessary would be tomorrow morning.

[Look It Up]

CUC will represent the NAC in the NCAA III regionals after a 9-0 win over Wisconsin Lutheran. Ryan Thorsen hurls a CG five-hit shutout for the Cougars (36-5).

CUC will represent the NAC in the NCAA III regionals after a 9-0 win over Wisconsin Lutheran. Ryan Thorsen hurls a CG five-hit shutout for the Cougars (36-5).

It was a good run for the Warriors, however. To begin with, they won enough games and got enough help to get in the NAthCon tournament on tie-breakers--then to get to the final round as a 6th seed-- no complaints here.

[Look It Up]

CUC heading to Augustana for the Central Regional. Also going to the Quad Cities are Webster, Wartburg, Adrian and Ripon.

Sad story in today's Tribune.

[Just Bill]

Yes. This story has been on D3Baseball's "What we're reading" list since yesterday too:

I was a college Head Coach and I understand the fine line they walk on a daily basis. That being said, as human beings, we have a moral obligation to protect those entrusted to our care.

Secondly, I do know the story(coaches are a tight-knit group) and, out of repsect for those involved (and being a believer in the letting the courts decide), I have kept it off the board. It is a tough time for all those involved and I don't think we need to add to their stress.

BP-
I applaud you for keeping this story off the board for nearly three years!!!  Easy to understand why!!!
