With the MAC tournament just around the corner, there is just enough time for one last 3-game series for everybody to squeeze in this last weekend of the regular season. Let's take a gander at the six in-conference series that will all be starting off tomorrow evening.
Buffalo at BGSU
Buffalo is already going to be a top-3 seed in the MAC tournament, so this is really BG's play-in series. Sixth in the MAC standings, the Falcons have a variety of ways to get into the tournament, but they'll be looking to win their way in by taking the series on their home field.
CMU at WMU
With Western out of the playoff picture, this is CMU's series to win. The Chips are sitting at the bottom-tier of the MAC standings, but a sweep here could earn them a spot as a low-seed for the tournament.
Toledo at EMU
In my unbiased opinion, this is the biggest series of the weekend. If one team sweeps then they've earned an automatic bid for the tournament, but what's the likelihood of that happening? Then again, EMU did beat Purdue 20-2 last night, so anything's possible.
NIU at Ball State
All Ball State has to do is win a game. That's it, just win one game. NIU's is already in, so they won't be too crushed by losing a game. Just. Win. One. Stinkin'. Game. That's it.
(Or have either Buffalo or Kent St lose one, that would work, too.)
Kent St. at Akron
It's been almost a full year since the Golden Flashes beat top-seeded Oregon in the Eugene Super Regional to play as the first MAC school to make it to the College World Series since EMU went on to become CWS runner-ups to Arizona in 1976. KSU opened up with a loss to Arkansas, but came back to beat top-ranked Florida, then sent home after a loss to South Carolina. The Gamecocks would then go on to be the 2012 CWS runner-ups.
Not that Kent St need any of this for some sort of motivation for the weekend, but Akron needs something as they are just behind EMU and Toledo and could find themselves playing in Avon, OH on Wednesday.
Ohio at Miami (OH)
The Redhawks are about as inconsistent as they come. They're 9-7 at home for the year and are 3-4 in the month of May. One win here would take the Bobcats' out of the playoff picture.
