UA vs Vermont Baseball Big This Week

[GreatDanes06]

If im not mistaken, only the top 4 make it to the AE Tournament for Baseball. Going into the 3 game series this weekend, UA is 1 game behind Vermont for the last spot in the playoffs. Maybe this win streak the team is on will be big this weekend.

Yes, four make the playoffs. Albany could finish anywhere from second to sixth. I think so far we lost the head-to-head vs. all the teams ahead of us.

We are not in an eviable situation. Vermont is hosting the AE tournament.

To borrow from the AE board, after NU beat Maine today:

1. Binghamton (12-5)

1. Northeastern (12-5)

3. Maine (11-7)

3. UVM (11-7)

5. Albany (10-8)

6. Stony Brook (9-9)

7. Hartford (3-15)

8. UMBC (3-15)

 

This weekend's matchups

 

NU @ SBU

Bing @ Maine

Albany @ UVM

Hartford @ UMBC

 

So 2 out of 3 vs. UVM should get us in, even in a 3-way tie, unless SBU sweeps NU. I don't want to think about a 4-way tie. 1 out of 3 and I think we're out.

It's interesting how the AE has three different methods for hosting tournaments. I was thinking of it when softball had to play a lower seeded Stony Brook on their home field.

 

Volleyball got the #1 seed and hosted the whole tournament. The higher seed in the lax tourney get the higher seeds in the opening round. Then some tourneys like softball, baseball have the tournament locations already set. I like the idea of rewarding the regular season champion with hosting the tournament. Basketball is an exception but I don't see why they can't do it with softball and baseball too.

For Baseball I believe that Vermont plays at Centennial Field which also doubles for a Minor League facility for the Vermont Expos so Its a good venue for the tournament. Stony Brook for the softball tournamnet...not sure.
