Bowling Green's baseball team has been competitive this season when it has played well in all three phases.
The Falcons are hoping for solid pitching, defense and hitting this week in the Mid-American Conference tournament at All Pro Freight Stadium in Avon.
BG is 20-28 overall entering today's tournament opener against Northern Illinois at 12:30 p.m.
The Falcons are the No. 6 seed in the tournament after finishing fourth in the East with a 13-14 record. NIU won the West with a 16-11 record.
BG's pitching and hitting have been good most of the time, but its defense has been an issue. The Falcons have 100 errors in 48 games, including 47 errors in 27 MAC games.
"That's true for every team, but it's especially true for us," BG coach Danny Schmitz said of needing all three phases to be competitive. "If we get all three phases, we can be competitive."
The Falcons had a losing record in the MAC, even though they won five of their nine three-game series. However, BG swept just one series and was swept twice.

Bowling Green's softball team is striving to capitalize on a fresh start this week.
The Falcons - who had a disappointing Mid-American Conference season - can redeem themselves in the conference tournament at Akron's Firestone Stadium.
BG faces Ohio to begin the double-elimination tournament this morning at 11.
The Falcons are the seventh-seed in the tournament after being picked as the favorite to win the MAC East Division.
But BG was only 9-13 in the MAC to tie Ohio for third place in the East. Ohio won the tiebreaker and is the No. 6 seed.
The Falcons are 26-22 overall, while Ohio is 26-27.
"We've learned from every game and now it's focusing on the next chapter in our book," BG sophomore pitcher Paris Imholz said.
The Falcons returned seven position players and two pitchers from last season when they were 36-22 overall and second in the East at 15-7.
