BG will play a three-game series at UB starting on Thursday this week (Thursday - Saturday). This is the last MAC series and the Falcons probably need a win this weekend to assure themselves a spot in the MAC Tournament (eight teams get in to the MAC Tournament Field). Only EMU & OU have been mathematically eliminated. BG does own tie-breakers over teams like Akron & NIU who are currently in the picture but behind them in the standings. But just one win by BG would move the Falcons ahead in the standings of where WMU and UT wouldn't be able to tie or leap ahead which would then make BG a lock in the field. If the MAC Tournament started today, BG would be the #5 seed. NIU and Akron are tied at 11-13 but NIU gets the tie-break edge right now. WMU also holds the tie-breaker over UT but both need to play their way in this weekend.

MAC EAST
#3 Miami (15-9)
#4 Kent State (14-10)
#5 Bowling Green (13-11)
#6 Buffalo (12-11)*
#8 Akron (11-13)

MAC WEST
#1 Ball State (19-4)*
#2 Central Michigan (17-7)
#7 Northern Illinois (11-13)
Western Michigan (10-14)
Toledo (10-14)
x - Eastern Michigan (4-20)

* Ball State & Buffalo played one less game than the rest of the field this year (rainout)

Final MAC Series (Thursday-Saturday):
BG at Buffalo
Akron at Kent State
Miami at Ohio
Ball State at NIU
WMU at CMU
EMU at Toledo

UB is all over BG in game one of the series, 7-1 in the 8th inning. Today's game was suspended and will be finished tomorrow at 1:00. What is it with UB baseball? BG hasn't beaten UB in a series since 2010. Also, where has the BG offense gone? The Falcons have scored just one run in the last 16 innings played.

BG clinched a tournament spot today, as EMU beat Toledo!

Excellent news! As last year proved, you just need to get in to the tournament and anything can happen once there. BG was the #6 seed last year and won it.

Baseball postponed again....now BG & UB will finish the end of game one on Saturday then play a DH right after that.
