With Hulman on the Wabash asserting itself as the team to beat in the Valley, again, there is plenty at stake.
As it stands, only the Milton Bradleys and the Valpo Beaconaders appear to be in Slime City. Only the top 8 get to live for the MVC tournament, planned for May 21-25 at UE.
UE takes its show on the road Tuesday for a game against the Cape Girardeau Pink Flamingos, who lost a 6-5 walkoff to the Aces on March 13. 6 p.m. starter. ESPN+ is promised.
The Aces have improved since then. SEMo is the epitomy of average -- 22-22 (10-8 in the OVC) with a recent 8-5 win over the Carbondale Dogs.
Capaha Field at SEMo where they advertise Budweiser but nobody there actually drinks it.
UE will play at Valpo on F-S-Su, and it's a great chance for me to root for my heroes and perhaps meet the Pom Pom Mom. The Beaks hold their games at Forgotonia Field just back of the Bob Evans. It's a 5-minute drive through the Roundabout if you keep going round and round. Valpo has had a suck season and we are hoping that continues. I would show a photo of their ballpark but it's mostly just not interesting. Turf field. I don't know what sort of beer they advertise this year. We're a craft beer-kinda town. Snobs, to be honest.

Mark Shallenberger has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week after slashing an unbelievable .692/.800/1.308 in four games last week for the Purple Aces. His draft stock is pretty high right now.
