Re: UMaine Black Bears 2017/18, Red dawn
(Or into May, FCS!)
Stiil, the current system is much more objective in a statistical sense, but much less fun if you're a Maine fan, or a baseball fan of any other NE team.
As you indicated, the Northeast hasn't had a true baseball Regional in a long time. That circumstance makes sense, but it was fun to see a Maine (or even a Le Moyne) in the CWS, and those teams sometimes made a splash. Heck, Maine finished 3rd in the field one year, and easily could have played in the NC game a couple of times.
Those were the days for baseball in Orono. As one former standout jock said recently: "If you were good at football, you went to BC, and if you were good at baseball, you went to Maine".
