Mercer has already played today, and lost. This is their 4th game is 3 days.
Western is fresh (at least they haven't played before this game). Mercer finished the season in 7th place, and Western looks to be well on the way to their second loss in two days and an all expenses paid trip back to Cullowhee.

I thought we had the potential to make some noise in the tournament this year but we laid two eggs. Not our year I guess. Wofford and Mercer were 2 teams we beat in the regular season. I am not a coach but Mortensen did not fair well against Wofford in the regular season. They got to him early and often during the regular season. Why do you lead with him in the tournament against the team that has had the best outing against him all year? And then when he starts off with 2 long ball outs and you leave him on until the other team scores 8. What is that all about? I am all for trusting your starters but it was obvious to everyone watching after it was 2 to nothing that he did not have his stuff and Wofford had his number. I hope the coach takes the blame for that loss. Wofford’s coaching staff was probably salivating when we announced that Mortensen was starting. I was watching the first inning thinking that coach will take him out now after every hit that Wofford got. It was like Coach was unaware that this was a tournament and that you have to win to advance. In a regular season series it should be a different strategy. In the case of the Wofford game because of Coaches inaction, he did not put the team in a position to win.

This was certainly not our new head coaches best coaching effort in his first SoCon tournament as the WCU head coach.
