Week two of the college baseball season is in the books and the managers of the MAC teams are currently utilizing this non-conference slate to learn about and challenge players they will need this season. Some tests were harder than others but there were no easy weekends.
The ping of metal bats coming from my laptop this weekend was a very welcome change from the cruel coldness of February in the Midwest. Wood bats would be great to fill the time in-between, but as we’ve seen, MLB owners might think that’s a privilege too far these days.
Kent State, Toledo and Central Michigan highlighted the week that was on the diamond for the MAC:
Kent State makes #20 Texas Tech sweat
Kent State was two innings away from taking two wins from the #20 Texas Tech Red Raiders.
