After taking three of four games this past weekend from the Frank Phillips College Plainsmen, the Midland College Chap baseball team has moved to within one game of fourth place Western Texas College in the WJCAC baseball standings.
The Chaps 27-20 overall and 12-12 in the WJCAC trails the WTC Westerners (13-11) by one game for the final berth in the 2012 NJCAA Region V Baseball Tournament.Both MC and WTC have two series left in the regular season. Remaining on the Chap's schedule is this weekend's four game series versus El Paso Community College in El Paso (TX) and the final series of the season at Christensen Stadium versus the New Mexico Military Institute. EPCC and NMMI are the eight and ninth placed teams in the league. Western Texas College still has series with Frank Phillips College in Borger (TX) and El Paso CC in Snyder (TX) left to play.
Against the Plainsmen Midland College played four solid contests and would likely have swept the set, except for a less than stellar beginning to the first game of the series. In game one FPC bolted out of the gate to a 4-0 advantage in the top of the 1st inning. Midland chipped away at the lead scoring one run in the third and two in the bottom of the 5th to bring the score to 4-3. The Plainsmen responded with three runs in the top of the sixth to expand their lead to 7-3 followed by Midland College's two runs in the bottom of the seventh. Final score 7-5. The following three games saw Midland College play with a renewed focus, winning by scores of 4-0, 7-5 and 11-2.
With eight games left in the regular season the Chaps must play well and only need to tie Western Texas in the final standings to secure the post-season berth. MC holds the tiebreaker over WTC by virtue of their 3-1 series win with the Westerners on the opening weekend of conference play.
