* USCAA *

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME – Yesterday was the final day of the 2014 World Series for the USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association). The 2nd seeded LINDENWOOD UNIVERSITY AT BELLEVILLE LYNX were 3-0 in Series play and were simply awaiting their title game opponent. That opponent would be the winner of the clash between the 4th seeded NEWPORT NEWS APPRENTICE SCHOOL BUILDERS and the top seeded defending champions – the UNIVERSITY OF CINCINATTI AT CLERMONT COUGARS. That game was knotted up at 2-2 in the 4th Inning but in the 5th the Cougars took a 4-2 lead and rode that score all the way to the win. Everett Osborne was the winning pitcher.  

The battle for the USCAA crown was pretty much of an anticlimax after that exciting game. The Lynx went up 4-0 by the end of the 1st Inning, 5-0 after the 2nd and then led 9-2 after UC- Clermont scored their only runs in the 3rd. LU- Belleville then masterfully logged even more runs in the 6th, 7th and 8th Innings to take the title by a final score of FIFTEEN to TWO! Dylan Arvai got the win. * CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LYNX, THE 2014 CHAMPIONS OF USCAA BASEBALL! *

DAY ONE: GAME ONE – Here’s a recap of the opening day of the World Series in the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association). The 4th seeded FRESNO PACIFIC UNIVERSITY SUNBIRDS more than doubled up on the 5th seeded BLUEFIELD COLLEGE RAMBLING RAMS, defeating them by a score of 8-3.     

DAY ONE: GAME TWO – The 6th seeded TOCCOA FALLS COLLEGE EAGLES are coming off three NCCAA Division Two national championships in a row from when NCCAA baseball was divided into two divisions. They still proved potent in this first year of combined play, however, stunning the 3rd seeded LEE UNIVERSITY FLAMES in a 6-1 beatdown that set the nation talking!           

DAY ONE: GAME THREE – Then two games featuring the two top seeds in the NCCAA World Series closed out Day One. The 7 seeds – the CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY YELLOW JACKETS – rose up and toppled the 2nd seeded TREVECCA NAZARENE UNIVERSITY TROJANS!
