The MAC teams played their opening weekend of games this weekend and the three-game weekend is back. The weekend format for post-Covid seasons was a nine-inning game on Friday, two seven-inning games on Saturday, and a nine-inning game on Sunday to finish the series.
Dropping from 32 innings of baseball to 27 allows the teams to be more flexible in bad weather. The conference hopes that everyone finishes all of their games by the end of the regular season. Some teams took advantage this weekend and played Saturday double headers to finish a day early.
It wouldn’t be a shock if the top four teams that make the conference tournament come from the five teams that are in position after one series.
