As an outfielder for the University of Miami in the late 1970s, Matt Tyner learned from two of the greatest college baseball coaches of all-time – Skip Bertman and Ron Fraser.

As is standard before most conference tournaments, the people coaching the favorites bumped into each other before it started Monday afternoon. But there was no sly gamesmanship between UNCW head coach Randy Hood and Northeastern head coach Mike Glavine — no examination of body language, no subtle attempts to glean some information, no attempt to fill the other’s head with the tiniest amount of self-doubt.

While Northeastern ran away with the North division title of the Colonial Athletic Association, the conference’s tournament has not been won by a No. 1 seed since 2012.

A six-week surge by Northeastern ensured there’d be no suspense in the CAA North. A well-timed three-week hot streak by UNC Wilmington removed any doubt from what was once a tightly packed CAA South race.

UNC Wilmington head baseball coach Randy Hood is a regular scoreboard watcher, so he knew last Saturday night that College of Charleston had done its part to turn the final series of the regular season into a virtual winner-take-all battle for the CAA South regular-season championship.

In the words of Chandler Bing: Could the CAA South BE any closer?

There’s no shortage of stats to indicate how strong a season the Northeastern baseball team is enjoying. Unbeaten in CAA play. Off to the program’s best 25-game start in 30 years, leading the league in hitting, pitching and fielding — a team Triple Crown, if you will. An RPI that has the Huskies being mentioned amongst the NCAA Tournament at-large possibilities, should they not win the CAA Tournament.

If you ask his coach Randy Hood, UNCW righthander Landen Roupp is a “good, old country boy who likes to hunt and fish” in his spare time.

William & Mary didn’t wait long to turn the tables on Elon.

Elon’s sweep of William & Mary resulted in a near-sweep of the CAA weekly awards for the Phoenix.

Towson head coach Matt Tyner has found out how his team responds as the underdog. After last weekend, he’ll get to learn how the Tigers handle things as a front-runner.

A chaotic ninth inning Sunday was the difference between Charleston enjoying sole possession of first place in the CAA’s South Division and UNC Wilmington creating a three-way tie.

Jack Cone was the finisher for William & Mary on Saturday.

It had been a while since Northeastern – a school with a list of major league alums which includes Carlos Pena and Adam Ottovino – had produced a big-leaguer.

On Saturday afternoon, the Hofstra baseball team matched a 34-year-old school record. On Sunday, the Pride earned a victory that allowed head coach John Russo to break a far older mark.
