I'm not sure the Shocks "should" beat anyone right now, much less a team that has already beaten them at home, and has a 67% winning percentage in conference.

Originally posted by flyingMooseShocks lead 4-0 after three and a half. This is way cool! We are beating Lauren Supak, our nemesis on their staff, and Breezy is doing the pitching!
So I am going to have to do something to fix this. Ok here goes:
The Shocks will blow this game. They always do. They will find a way to screw it up. They have no chance.
That should do it.

The Shockers sweep, 5-1 and 5-3. Getting some hitting was a highlight and getting some good innings from Breezy in the first game was a highlight.
In the first game, Sammie and Kara had RBI doubles and Gert had a two-run homer. Kiersten also had a double and scored on a single by Sammie. Breezy had four solid innings, giving up an unearned run.
In the second game, Kara had another double (and Hayley had one), Lindsie had four hits, Gert had three and Jamie had a solo dinger. Katie started, but Kasha came on in the second and finished the game.

Originally posted by WuDrWuHow many teams make the MVC tourney?
The #1 and #2 seeds get double-byes into the semi-finals.
The #3 and #4 seeds get a 1st round bye.
#5 plays #8 and #6 plays #7 in the first round.
The 5-8 winner plays #4 in the second round.
The 6-7 winner plays #3 in the second round.
The winner of the 5-8 vs 4 game plays #1 in the semi-finals.
The winner of the 6-7 vs 3 game plays #2 in the semi-finals.
Therefore, the bottom 4 seeds have to win four games to win the tournament.
The 3 and 4 seeds have to win 3 games to win.
The 1 and 2 seeds only have to win 2 games.
Obviously, a big advantage to the higher seeds. Not sure I am wild about single-elimination tournaments in Baseball/Softball but I actually like the top regular season finishers being rewarded.
Shocks lack of pitching depth does not bode well for them if they make the field.
BTW, the last and only time the Shocks won the MVC Tournament was in 1989. That was a good year to be a Shocker.

Originally posted by flyingMooseIn a one-and-done bracket, you (typically) have to have a hot pitcher and ride her as far as you can. That is what Bradley, a #6 seed, did with Ashley Birdsong last year. She pitched all thirty innings of their four wins.
