* The No. 1 seed will play the lowest seed to advance from the first round of the tournament games.
# The lowest seed to advance from games four & five will play in a game six (e.g. low is 6 seed) and the higher seed to advance from games four and five (e.g., high is 1 seed) will play in game 7. However, if No. 1 and No. 2 seeds both lose in games four and five, they will play each other in Game 6 with the advancing team facing the winner of game 3 in game 7. Exception: if one of the game 4 or 5 losers already has had a bye, that team will play in Game 6 regardless of seed. No team will receive a double bye.
UP NEXT: The RedHawks will begin play on Thursday after earning a bye as a result of finishing as the No. 1 seed. Miami is set to play against the lowest seed to advance from the first round of the tournament games at 2 p.m. in Avon, Ohio at ForeFront Field.
