Just curious and hoping someone can enlighten me here. Looking through D3 playoff tourneys, I noticed Williams playing as follows:

Top six qualify; single/double elimination; top two seeds get byes. First round single elimination at higher seeds (3-6); second round double elimination begins at top two seeds; third round at No. 1 seed.
Seedings: TBD.

Williams is a NESCAC school, so just wondering what the MSCAC is all about; is it an actual conference, or some sort of ad hoc post season tournament maybe? Just curious... Thanks for any info.

SG, I think the Williams game is a make up of a previously postponed game and not part of the playoffs involving the top 6 in the conference.

From the Williams website:

Are you confusing Roger Williams College in RI for Williams College in MA? Williams College is named for Ephraim Williams.

No it's Williams College, not Roger Williams, listed on D3baseball.com under the MSCAS tournament game listing. I'm guessing infielddad has it right that it's a non conf make up game which impacts MSCAS post season seedings. Just looked odd to me and I thought maybe I was missing something... Like some sort of an at large bid arrangement between NESCAC and MSCAS or something.
