MAC Tournament Central
Pitching Matchup
RHP Trevor Feeney (5-4, 4.43 ERA) vs RHP Tyler Pritchard (3-6, 5.50 ERA)
-These two pitchers squared off in game 1 of the regular season series. The Huskies won that game 4-1 thanks to Trevor Feeney's gem. The senior righthander went 8 innings giving up only 1 run on 5 hits. Pritchard had a decent yet shaky outing going 5 innings and giving up 3 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks. Jeff Thomas and Danny Reed each collected 2 hits off Pritchard.
Analysis
-NIU went 2-0 against Ball State this season, winning 4-1 and 7-6.
-Jordin Hood was 3-3 in game 2 of the series with 2 homeruns.
-Ball State is struggling coming into the MAC Tournament. They have lost 6 out of their last 7 games. NIU has won 5 of their last 6.
-Game 1 in a double elimination tournament is very crucial. Lose and it's very tough road back to the winners bracket.

Good luck in the game, I hope you're wrong, but I think that we're screwed.
