Zips get four players on the all tournament team, Cantrell, Lee, Glass and MVP Madie Jamrog. Felt like Lily Sullivan certainly could have been included but I guess five is getting a little greedy. 🤣

You can throw in track and field in there to make it five. ☺️

They made it a little interesting in the top of the 7th, Western Michigan scored a run and had the bases loaded with two out but a little pop out ended the game with Akron with their first MAC Championship 3-1!

I just rewatched the bottom of the 7th and I'm still in awe. Zips got two quick outs and then their lead off hitter Meagan Lee dropped down a good bunt single. Hayley Glass went down 0-2 and maybe took strike three but it was called a ball and then she fouled off five pitches before she finally walked. Sophia Wygast then walked before Lily Sullivan hit her slam on an 0-1 pitch. Just amazing.

Awesome that the guys were watching like that and had that sort of reaction. I have to admit I was thinking well they can still win it but it's just going to be a lot tougher. They had so many tough breaks today and still managed to come back and win it. This is a heck of a team.

And one inning earlier the player who hit it, Lily Sullivan, was robbed of a two-run homer when the WMU outfielder reached over the fence and pulled it back.

Zips will get number six seed Western Michigan tomorrow. WMU let Northern Illinois tie it in the bottom of the 7th and then scored five times in the first extra inning to win it.

@catdaddyp we really do appreciate your taking the time and effort to provide these kinds of detailed updates. Makes it feel like we're a bigger program than we are. 😊

Gave up four home runs in the game and yet were still able to to pull out the win. Great job. Tomorrow at noon against the winner of Western Michigan and Northern Illinois. Western currently up 2-0 in the 4th.

But, but, but academics are the most important thing in college sports.

Couldn't quite tell but there was a young girl behind the Toronto bench who appeared to be wearing a Zips MAC Championship shirt.

Shammah showed up in every game this year. Hoping he gets a shot.

Zips clinch the number one seed at Firestone!

Last year was likely the highest seed the Zips will ever see. Others like McNeese and Akron, who were No. 12 seeds as automatic qualifiers, would likely have been pushed down to the No. 13 seed line to make room for eight additional at-large teams.

NCAA tournament to go to 76 teams. All the 16 seeds and half of the 15 will play in the opening round. Just another excuse to shove the automatic qualifiers down further so they can shove a few more P4 teams in. I hate college sports more everyday.

That might have been turgent and busty. But just a guess. 😉

In worse news it was the first collegiate home run she ever hit. But in excellent news of the day the Zips took down Ohio State 9-5. Fly the flag!

Softball had a brutal loss at Massachusetts on Saturday. Up 4 to 1 with two outs in the 7th with the bases loaded and lost on a walk-off Grand slam. Tough loss but they still took two of three from Massachusetts and they still lead the MAC at 17 and 4.

They are playing really well, definitely also taking advantage of other teams mistakes.

Nope. 🥺

Me and Sean Penn. Union Station DC. I did not say a word to him. 🤣

Serviceable backup big? 🤣

I just voted and they are now at 51%. Hopefully that'll stay. Also I feel like you should change your name to X/Tavari got robbed of POY.

Typically when the MAC flies the pirate flag it indicates some sort of win over a power conference. Perhaps there is some sort of schedule release that includes contests against those leagues?
