Centennial Conference Release
SWARTHMORE, Pa. -- Due to unplayable field conditions, games 3-4-5 of the Centennial Conference baseball tournament will not be played on Sunday, May 8.
Therefore, the Centennial Conference incomplete tournament policy will be invoked:
Incomplete Tournament. If the tournament has not completed five games by the end of Sunday, and if all teams have completed at least one contest, the highest remaining seed will receive the Conference AQ.
As the top remaining seed, Swarthmore is deemed conference champion and has received the Centennial's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Franklin & Marshall will still have a chance at securing an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, as the sixth-ranked team in Region V. The NCAA Regional Rankings are done by the same regional and national committees which will make the at-large selections for the NCAA tournament and the rankings are done by applying the same criteria which are used for making the at-large selections.
