By losing to DBU 7-5 on Friday evening the Shocks have guaranteed they will not be in the same bracket as DBU in the Valley Tournament.

If the Shocks win today they will the 6th seed. If the Shocks lose today and Illinois State also loses to Missouri State the Shocks will be the 6th seed. If the Shocks lose today and Illinois State wins the Shocks will be the 7th seed. Either way they will not be in the 1-4-5-8 bracket.

One thing to note, if Missouri State wins today they will move into the 7th seed and would be with the Shocks in the 2-3-6-7 bracket regardless of what the Shockers do today.

Yep and I would much rather have Illinois State in our bracket. I think, despite their issues in Valley play, MSU is a much better team than ILS and they are proving it so far kicking the Redbirds ass 9-2 and 17-5 (7) and the Redbirds pitching gets progressively worse the deeper into a series you go. Odds are the Bears will be the 7th seed.

Indiana State has the 2 seed locked up and will be in our bracket. The winner of today's Bradley - SIU game will be the 3rd seed and in our bracket along with the winner of today's MSU - ILS game.

It has been a real struggle for Shocker senior Ryan Tinkham. Ryan came through on his senior day with an 8th inning home run to give the Shocks a 4-3 lead. Now can Big John make that standup.

John gives up a lead off single but strands that runner at 2nd the Shocks have a 4-3 senior day victory and will be the 6th seed in the Valley tournament.

Good game and GREAT to see the seniors go out in style.

The draw for the MVC, if I'm correct, couldn't be a lot better. It would have been nice if ISUr wouldn't have crapped the bed against the Bares, but still, WSU gets Bradley I think and the home Trees get MSU.

DBU, SIU, UE and ISUR are in the other pod. No time like now to play well.

The Shocks and Evansville finish tied for 5th place. The seeding tiebreaker belongs to Evansville who will the 5th seed. The Shockers will be seeded 6th and will open against 3ed seeded Bradley. Missouri State plays Indiana State in the other side of the Shocks bracket.
