What is going on with baseball?

I know Valpo is not good, but the Braves took care of business with 2 "mercy rule" wins and a tense 9-7 win. And, in a nice touch, the Bradley Coach stopped by to say "hi" during today's Chiefs game (which preceded the Valpo game)
 
Yes, thanks Ollie. They have played better these last couple weeks, though some of that is due to the schedule. They have gone 5-1 in their last two series, which were against Indiana State (11-13), one of the three other MVC teams with a losing record, and last-place Valpo (3-21). Bradley is now 10-14 in the MVC (14-33 overall) with a chance to get close to .500 in the conference with their final 3 regular-season games this week against Evansville, the other team with a losing record (9-15).

Well...the Evansville series is tied 1-1. BU is 11-15 and UE is 10-16. It appears that BU has to win tomorrow to make the MVC?

Yes, as MIkovio posted, if Bradley loses tomorrow to Evansville, then Evansville will tie them with a final 11-16 MVC record. Head-to-head record is the primary tiebreaker, so a loss tomorrow means Evansville will be 2-1 against Bradley and will get the #8 seed and Bradley would drop out of the tournament.

Indiana State, who was 11-14 going into today's games, just beat Illinois State 17-3 today to improve to 12-14. So there is no chance now of a 3-way tie.
But, if Bradley wins tomorrow and Indiana State loses, they will both end tied for 7th with 12-15 records, and Bradley would get the #7 seed because they are 2-1 against Indiana State.

Indiana State lost their final regular season game to Illinois State 12-1, and they finish 12-15 in the MVC.
Currently, Bradley is leading Evansville 10-6 in the 5th inning. If Bradley can hold onto their lead, they will finish tied with Indiana State for 7th place, at 12-15, and Bradley will get the #7 seed in the tournament. Go BU!
