The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association has reached the final week of the 2025-2026 athletic year, and the MIAA has one team left alive in the 2026 spring season.
The Central Missouri Mule baseball team is still alive in the 2026 NCAA II College World Series after going 1-1 in their first two games of the World Series this past week.
The Mules will look to keep their season, and national championship dreams, alive on Tuesday when they play Texas-Tyler for the 2nd time in the tournament.
Texas-Tyler defeated Central Missouri 8-3 on Friday in the opening round. The Mules remained alive in the tournament with a 23-9 victory against UIndy on Saturday, Texas-Tyler dropped into the loser’s bracket Sunday night when they lost 8-2 against West Chester.
Tuesday’s winner will face West Chester at 1:30 on Wednesday, needing two victories to advance to the best 2-out-of-3 championship series, which begins Friday, June 5.
The Missouri Southern softball team qualified for the NCAA II College World Series and won their opening round game, but the Lady Lions lost the next two games to see their season come to an end.
