Lower winning percentage, only milder better SOS than the three listed "below the line."

Wow those four are really really close... the biggest question is where they'll stand against the other Pool C's from across the nation once all the conference tournament games are played and we see who's been dropped to Pool C contention. With the numbers here, there doesn't seem to be any clear cut favorite.. Cal Lu and Redlands have better SOS, Pac Lu has a slightly better winning percentage, and Tex Lu is right there in the mix too.
It seems to me that Pac Lu might be the most logical choice, if only one gets selected. They can bus to Linfield, and that would cut down MC's travel a bit depending on which regional they'd be shipped to.

[bluesagehen4747]

As a Sagehen fan, speaking strictly on matchups, I personally would much rather see Redlands in a regional than Cal Lu. Redlands has been going through an awful stretch and seems quite vulnerable, while Cal Lu is surging with their horses on the mound finally coming around.

Can't say I know much about Pac Lu or Tex Lu, but they both seem to be playing solid ball right despite some slight falters at the end of the season. Regardless, the West regional appears to be as balanced as its ever been. While Chapman may be a clear 1 seed, they certainly don't stand out as much as they have in previous years, and I think 2-6 (whatever they end up being) are really fairly interchangeable.

Cal Lu was 9-1 in its last 10 games(Not a factor used to pick Poll C teams). Its a real tossup if any team outside of MC gets a Pool C bid at all. They will all have to wait until May 16th to find out.

Well...the good thing being in the PacNW is that by next Tuesday that forecast could be completely different.  I think the Baseball weather gods will smile on the regional (I hope).

And the turf can take a good amount of rain...the only dirt they have to take care of is the mound.

What is the over/under of the numbers of hours in the tournament that the thermometer will register at higher than 60 degrees Fahrenheit for the entire tourney?

What is the over/under of the numbers of hours in the tournament that the thermometer will register at higher than 60 degrees Fahrenheit for the entire tourney?   

I'd put it at 9 hours
