COMPLETE OVC TOURNAMENT BRACKET
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With the start of the Ohio Valley Conference Baseball Tournament just days away, Tennessee Tech alumni and fans are invited to attend the TTU Championship Tailgate throughout the week in Jackson, Tenn.
A gold TTU tent will be open two hours prior to each Golden Eagle contest and will feature complimentary food and beverages for all fans of the purple and gold to enjoy. The intended location of the tent will be right outside the front entrance at the Ballpark at Jackson, home of the Jackson Generals, the Double-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.
The OVC Tournament begins on Wednesday, with Tech (31-22, 17-13) entering the six-team field as the No. 5 seed after clinching a spot in the tournament over the weekend with a three-game sweep of Eastern Kentucky. The Golden Eagles will partake in the first game of tournament, kicking off their quest for the program's fourth title with a 1 p.m. match-up with the defending tournament champions and No. 4 seed, Morehead State.
A win would mean a Thursday match-up at either 3 p.m. against No. 2 Jacksonville State or at 7 p.m. against No. 1 Southeast Missouri, depending on the outcome of Wednesday's other contest between No. 3 Austin Peay and No. 6 Belmont. A loss would equate to an 11 a.m. contest against the loser of the the match-up between the Governors and Bruins.
The tournament is slated to last through Saturday, with an if-necessary game set for Sunday.
Fans who are not able to attend the tournament can watch all the action free of charge via the OVC Digital Network, or listen live on FM 106.1 The Eagle with Dylan Vazzano providing the play-by-play for each TTU game.
