Another exciting round of Baseball Movie March Madness in the books, with three of the polls coming right down to the wire. A victor has been named in each bracket, and just eight movies remain. This round of voting will be shut down on Sunday evening, and the final four will be up for voting on Monday morning. It’s a little telling that seven of the eight number one seeds advanced into the quarterfinals…but quite frankly, there were movies that just got tough draws in their bracket that could have rolled in another bracket. Now, your eight final movies…
