The three-game weekend format is so much better than the four-game format of the previous years. Splits were very common and they didn’t help teams prepare for the tournaments at the end of the year; two seven-inning games in the middle of the series were out of place in the MAC schedule.
Two of the five MAC series had a series-deciding game on Sunday, and two of the remaining three had teams bounce back with strong game-three pitching performances to stave off the sweep.
Week 6 was an exciting week of baseball that started with Akron upsetting a Big Ten opponent on Tuesday, and only got better from there!
