Explain why game 1 was 7 innings & game 2 9innings? I thought the double headers were supposed to be 7 innings. Do the coaches agree to the games length before the series is played? No. One game is designated as 9 innings, the other 7. MLB plays two 7s |

You are correct. Last year the format was indeed 9-7-7-9, but not this year. The MAC needs to dump these 4-game series next year. They should not have done it this year. |

Thanks for the explanation. Not that it makes sense.

They should not have done it this year. Still don't understand why all MAC are not only doing the 4 game series each weekend, but mid-week OOC. The only exception is BSU. Not that the MAC ever gets an at-large in the NCAA Tourney, but what if for some unexpected reason BSU wins 40+ games, makes it to the MAC final game and loses. The committee has very few OOC comparisons to use for justifying an at-large to a 40+ win BSU squad. Also, getting to 40+ wins in a season is even more difficult when you do not play mid-week OOC games. |

It all may make sense when Rich has fresher pitchers for the MAC tournament. We will still play the same 56-58 game season.
Does it really make sense to have a 40 game conference schedule? It may not be his plan but like this approach to combat the poor decision by MAC officials in their conference scheduling.
