I guess I could look this up, but ...
Does every team that does not win in their regional finish in 17th place for the Cup, or do they distinguish between 1st 2nd, 3rd and 4th in each regional?
[Each regional does have a clear 1-2-3-4.]
The 3rd place finishers are given a T-33 designation, but also given 25 points.
The 2nd place finishers are given a T-17 designation, and given 50 points.
But at this point the Stanford has a lead and is essentially trading baskets with UCLA. Stanford will collect 50 points for baseball. UCLA will collect 50 points too. However, UCLA really needed a massive gain in baseball to have a chance to catch Stanford. Posting the same point tally in baseball is not good enough.
I suspect enough of the results are final to declare Stanford as the winner for the year as I don't believe any other program could get to 1400 even if they win every title that is still available to win. That likely will become clear on Thursday when the next batch of results is posted.
