Here's one of those college baseball box scores that will make your head hurt.

The line for the winning pitcher: 3.2inn 12h 4bb 11er. Wow.

The starter can't get the win--he didn't go 5.  I think the WP must be the guy who came in the 8th.  He was the pitcher of record when the game winning run was scored.  Nonetheless, the starter messed up his stats for sure.

Aurora has changed the box score to correct the error.

The UMAC must not have followed the 2000 presidential election. The UMAC schedule has CSS at regionals.

That is pretty funny.  I'm not quite sure you can pencil that in just yet.

Stevens Point must have had a stranglehold on that No. 4 Regional Rankings spot heading into last week. I know teams behind the Pointers didn't help themselves, but there are not many worse in-region losses in 2010 than those to Stout and Lawrence.

Barring conference upsets, might we see no Pool C bids from the Midwest Region?

I know that is far-fetched, but the Midwest seems really weak!

Agreed. Not an absurd scenario either. For that to happen, I think UWSP would have to go 2-and-Q this weekend.

The Midwest may be weak after the top 3 but the top 3 may be the top 3 in the entire country.  I'm banking on Whitewater or St. Thomas to win the world series more than likely St. Thomas.  As weak as the midwest looks I don't think the central is better.
