Fresno State Emerges as MWC Baseball Regular Season Champs

I, for one, think it was due to their outstanding pitching. The staff was the best in the MWC and was very deep. They probably have the Pitcher of the Year in the MWC in Jimmy Lambert and Ricky Tyler Thomas and Edgar Gonzalez were no slouches themselves. I don't want to forget their hitting as it was pretty good but not the best in the conference. But, that pitching.........

A Quick End to the MWC Season

No need to go deeply into the season ending series. Fresno State was sitting on top of the heap and Nevada and New Mexico had to sweep their series to tie for the title. It didn't happen as Nevada lost the first game to UNLV and New Mexico lost to Air Force (that 1-0 loss must have really hurt) to squelch any hopes and dreams of those two programs. The Bulldogs are champs and, if they are at least make it to the finals of the MWC Tournament, will get the only bid to the NCAA Tournament. If they lose the championship game, they may lose out as the only automatic bid goes to the tournament champ. C'mon San Diego State you can do it! More on the seedings later.
