Un-Brech-Able
Junior Alan Brech has been sensational in his last three starts, recording a 1.57 ERA, a 2-0 record and 16 strikeouts in 23.0 innings pitched. The 2005 First Team All-MAC squad member is making a strong case for reelection this season. Brech's 2.17 ERA ranks third in the conference while also finding himself in the top ten with a .254 opponent's batting average.
MAC Race
The top of the Mid American Conference standings is very crowded as of April 25th. Six teams are within one big weekend of catching MAC-leading Kent State (11-4), trailing by three games or less. Bowling Green owns a 9-6 conference mark with 12 MAC contests remaining on the schedule. If the MAC tournament began today, the Falcons would be the #4 seed.
