I love how the Regionals have been seeded. There are so many opportunities for schools to proceed to Cedar Rapids with their nemeses in opposite brackets.

I like how they disbursed the conference and region foes across the brackets. Trinity and Chapman/CalLu/PP/Pacific could meet in the finals. So could Cortland and Oswego; BSC and LaGrange; or Rowan and Montclair... it just goes on.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, that isn't the case for Whitewater and Stevens Point... I was hoping one of them would get matched up with the Webster Regional for a trip to Cedar Rapids, but instead they'd have to face each other.

AND both CCIW reps are in those two regionals as well.  I think both the WIAC AND the CCIW got screwed.

Wonder why the NCAA Reg'l rankings have not been released?

Love the first round games, where "underdogs" who have a really good #1 pitcher, go up against a "traditional favorite" and we watch for the upset!

Dane DellaValle gets the Complete Game victory for J&W.

Bridgewater St and Cortland St go to extra innings, tied 3-3.
Cortland scores in the bottom of the 10th, 4-3 Final.

BSC wins 10-2 in their first regional game.

Keystone beats Immaculata, 7-5.

Even tho' Keystone was the number 4, the Giants made the playoffs in 2019 and 2021. Maybe they had fewer butterflies...

[Ralph Turner]

How about a Grand Slam Walk-off, NCC 12, Coe 8.  That bottom of the 9th for NCC was a walk, a hit by pitch, a hit by pitch, an E6 that could have been an inning ending DP, and the Grand Slam.

I think Trinity and UT Dallas messed up and thought it was a football playoff and sent the wrong teams....

I thought so too, but UTD doesn't have a football team.

So far, we have 2 & BBQ for:

Elizabethtown, Mount Aloysius, MSOE, Lawrence, Montclair State, Stevens, Earlham, Bridgewater St, SUNY Brockport, PSU-Harrisburg, Rochester, Lebanon Valley, Pacific, and Centenary who went 0-3!

We await the loser of the Crown-Wooster game.


Edit: Crown lost to Wooster. 

In the UT-Dallas/Trinity Regional, UT-Dallas went 1 win and 3 losses to Trinity.
