Only sweep will get us ahead of ETSU and #3 seed. Rather avoid Wofford in 1st rd

⚾Game Day⚾"WCU can finish as high as second in the standings if the Catamounts sweep all three games at VMI this week to get to 14-7 and first-place Samford drops three to Wofford, relegating the Bulldogs to 13-8. UNCG would leap-frog Samford to win the regular season and garner the No. 1 seed. Three Catamount wins at VMI regardless of what happens around the conference and in Birmingham, Ala., would put WCU at 14-7 and would land the squad in third place, overtaking ETSU at 13-8. Essentially, though, with a game lead over Wofford in the standings, WCU must simply mirror or be better than the Terriers to lock itself into the double-elimination portion of next week's tournament."

I want the sweep, but regardless of what happens, Coach Beck has done a great job with these men this year.
