Only have to win two of three if Nevada wins two out of three over SJSU. Tech holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over Nevada but not over San Jose State.Originally Posted by TruDawg

Tech can be no worse than the #4 seed with a win Sunday, and it will be the #3 seed if Nevada beats SJSU Sunday. Tech would be #4 with a win and SJSU win. With a Tech loss it would be #4 if SJSU beats Nevada and #5 if Nevada beats SJSU.

Fresno State-Hawai'i tiebreaker
Tie-breaking procedures shall be implemented to determine seeding for the Conference Tournament or to determine the Conference’s automatic qualifier to the NCAA Tournament. The tie-breaking procedure for baseball shall be as follows.
[1] The winner of the head-to-head competition is the higher seed.
Teams split series 2-2
[2] If a tie still remains, the team with the best winning percentage against the highest finishing team(s) that all tied teams have played the same amount of times shall receive the higher seed.
Tech and Nevada finish tied for 3rd. Both Fresno State and Hawai'i went 6-2 against the two teams.
[3] If a tie still remains, the team with the best winning percentage against the highest finishing team(s) that the tied teams have played at the same site the same number of times shall receive the higher seed.
Fresno State and Hawai'i did not play any other WAC team at the same site, and neither played the same team both at home or both on the road. Doesn't look like this tiebreaker applies.
[4] If a tie still remains, the team with the best winning percentage in conference road games played shall receive the higher seed.
Both Fresno State and Hawai'i went 7-5 on the road in WAC play.
[5] If a tie still remains, the team with the best winning percentage against the highest finishing team(s) regardless of the number of times the teams have played shall receive the higher seed.
Not relevant...same as #2.
[6] If a tie still remains, the Conference office shall conduct a draw. The drawn team shall receive the higher seed.
Looking like a draw by the conference office.

Nevada leads SJSU 6-4 going into the 8th.
How painful is 3rd place?Ya know....this is gonna be a painful process, this posting WAC standings.
Nevada adds to the lead in the 8th but the Spartans get one back in the 8th...7-5 heading to the 9th.
Wolf Pack add another run with 0 outs in the 9th...8-5 heading to the bottom of the 9th.
Leadoff batter flies out.
Pinch hitter in the cleanup spot walks...man on 1st 1 out.
Fly to center for the 2nd out...runner moves up to second.
Fly out ends the game.
Nevada 8-5. Tech #3 seed.
