If you thought the basketball tournament was tough if you had to play in the Thursday play-in game and had to win 4 games to win the tournament, in the baseball tournament, anyone playing in the Wednesday play-in games, will have to win 5 games to win the tournament. They will have to play for 5 straight days.

I'd say Western has a better chance of receiving a $10 million donation to athletics, than coming out the tournament champion in this year's SoCon tournament. The way the team is playing in the UNCG series, and lack of quality pitching it's doubtful the team comes out of the play-in game on Wednesday.
