The Monmouth College Fighting Scots Baseball squad, who were picked to finish 7th out of 8 teams in the Midwest Conference preseason coaches poll, clinched a spot in the Midwest Conference Tournament with their win in game 1 of the 3 game series finale with Ripon College on Saturday. The Scots fall in game 2 and 3, dropping the series 2-1. Monmouth College finishes the regular season with record of (17-20) and (12-9) in a very even Midwest Conference, which was good enough for a 3rd place finish. Head Coach Alan Betourne talks about his guy’s fight throughout the season.
Monmouth College Baseball will be on the diamond for their first Midwest Conference Tournament since 2020 on Friday as the Fighting Scots will take on Beloit College at 9 am at Lawrence University. The Midwest Conference tournament is a 4 team, double elimantion format. If the Scots beat Beloit, they will play at 7:30 on Friday night against the winner of Lawrence and Grinnell. Should Monmouth lose their first round game, they will play the loser of the same match up at 4:30 on Friday afternoon. Monmouth took the series 2-1 against each team in the tournament, as they look for their first Midwest Conference Championship in 7 years.
