FHSU Athletics
INDIANAPOLIS – Fort Hays State Baseball is among the ten teams under consideration for the NCAA Tournament in the first set of Central Region rankings released on Wednesday. The top four teams in the MIAA, which includes FHSU, are among the list, along with five schools from the Great American Conference (GAC) and one from the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC).
Eight teams are selected to compete in the NCAA Tournament from the Central Region. Regionals are broken down into two four-team double elimination brackets, hosted at two different sites. The winners of each four-team regional move on to the best-of-3 Super Regional matchup for the Central Region, which determines the advancing team to the eight-team NCAA Championship site.
In the PDF spreadsheet link for the Central Region provided at the bottom of the region rankings page on NCAA.com, the Tigers are ranked sixth for in-region RPI.
In the first release of the rankings, teams being considered at this time are listed alphabetically. Next week, the rankings will have teams ranked 1-10 in the region as teams go into their final weekend of regular season play.
Fort Hays State hosts Northwest Missouri State for a three-game series this weekend at Larks Park in Hays. Pack the Park is scheduled for Friday night (Apr. 25) at 7 p.m.
