Ohio not to host District Four baseball tourney
It appears the District Four baseball tournament will not be held at Trautwein Field as previously expected. Ohio University, member of the Mid American Conference, was set to host but flood waters last year moved the event to Minneapolis. Since the MAC and site rotation rule favors the Big Ten champion, Minnesota, the event likely moves there this year.
