New playoff rule don’t require seeds 1-8 which it’s always been…it’s IL teams matched up seeded 1-4 and MO matched 1-4, so no matter what it’s going to be MO vs IL in title game. Guess the league got sick of @BvilleRockies and Green matchup #rulechange #getbetter #beers #Green

In two years as a Bearcat, Joey Kossina made an impact on the mound and in the box.
On the mound, Joey appeared in 27 games, made 16 starts, and struck out 71.
At the plate, he slashed .351/.419/.484, while earning All-Conference and All-Region honors.
Congrats to Joey!
