AWP is so tough in these situations - I think this is their 3rd straight trip to the NCAA's - after Lehigh evened up the series earlier today 3-1, No. 2 seed Army cruised in the deciding game 6-1 Look at Boston College's program since Foster left for Army. Huge drop-off at BC and gain for the Black Knights

Three NE teams are in the NCAA's - Northeastern won the CAA (former HC player Ben Malgeri was MVP of the tourney) and are the 3 seed in Arkansas regional - Fairfield had to sweat it out as they lost the MAAC tourney to Rider, but their 35-3 record got them a 3 seed in the Austin, Tx. regional - and UConn won the Big East and is the 2 seed in the South Bend regional - we usually see a 4 seed from this area but not this year.

You think that seeing an east team get an at large bid at the NCAA tournament.
That more East teams should just play games against each other. Much more competitive then playing in these southern and west trips that result in 10-15 loses.
I know they probably have to with weather but it seems to make the most sense travel wise as well.

Yes, if a team from the Northeast only plays games against other NE teams and goes 33-3, they have a shot at an at-large bid, but how often would that happen?

Well, Northeastern got an at-large in 2018 with a 36-19 record

Well, NU didn't just play against northeast comp in 2018, and that was the question that was floated.

Most schools also are going down for a weekend or two to the South play a few games while the vast majority of their schedule are regional schools. Fairfield played five games in 2019 in the south if you want to consider JMU a southern school.

Army represented the PL very well today, playing top seeded Texas Tech very tough - led early 2-1, eventually losing 6-3

Well, Northeastern got an at-large in 2018 with a 36-19 record Well, that Northeastern team played Texas Tech, Auburn, Creighton, Missouri and plays in a conference with 2 other top 100 RPI's (who aren't northeast teams), so not sure how that backs up your statement.

Jake's bat isn't straight up in the air, but I still thought of another left handed batter with a z in his name that did alright for himself in New England.

Obviously I was thinking of Ichiro Suzuki who has a .311 career batting average and not some old guy with a .285 career average or his grandson who has hit .269 for his career so far.

Isn't HC the only Catholic college to have won the College World Series? Irrelevant perhaps but, nonetheless, it is a point of pride for some.

Liam pitched very little freshman year. He had a great sophomore year. Junior was COVID. Senior WAS 0-4 w 10 ERA in 18 IP. Must be injury related. Now pitching in NECBL. He must be going for a post grad degree and playing somewhere. A masters degree is a great option and can only help while prolonging employment but baseball is done.
