* NJCAA *

Herkimer College GeneralsDISTRICT 3-A – CHAMPIONSHIP – Yesterday saw the final three games to decide this District’s title. First the HERKIMER COLLEGE GENERALS lambasted the ERIE COLLEGE KATS in an 11-3 manhandling.   ###   Then the ONONDAGA COLLEGE LASERS utterly annihilated what little remained of Erie College’s self esteem. The Lasers eviscerated the Kats THIRTEEN to NOTHING.   ###   And finally in the title clash itself the Herkimer College Generals masterfully tripled the offensive output of the Onondaga Lasers, defeating them by a score of 9-3. * THE GENERALS ADVANCE TO THE NJCAA3 WORLD SERIES! *  

Tyler ApachesDISTRICT 3-C – CHAMPIONSHIP – Over the course of this District’s tourney each of the other title contenders had fallen by the wayside.

The TYLER COLLEGE APACHES and the EASTFIELD COLLEGE HARVESTERS were the two teams left standing. Though both schools have storied baseball teams the Apaches completely dominated yesterday, routing the Harvesters ELEVEN to ONE! * THE APACHES ADVANCE TO THE NJCAA3 WORLD SERIES! *  Continue reading →

fresno pacific sunbirdsDAY FOUR – Yesterday was the final day of the 2014 College World Series in the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association).

The first semifinal saw the 4 seeds – the FRESNO PACIFIC UNIVERSITY SUNBIRDS take on the 7th seeded CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY YELLOW JACKETS. The Sunbirds, playing their best baseball at just the right time of year, authoritatively downed the Yellow Jackets  6-1.

The second  semifinal was played between the 3rd seeded LEE UNIVERSITY FLAMES and the Cinderella 9 seeds – the SHORTER UNIVERSITY HAWKS. This explosive game saw the Flames emerge victorious by a final score of 11-8 to to set up the Fresno Pacific versus Lee University clash for the crown.

In the championship game last evening the bats were as red-hot as they were in the second semifinal that afternoon. By an odd coincidence the final score was once again 11-8 but this time the winners were the Sunbirds! * CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SUNBIRDS, THE NCCAA BASEBALL CHAMPIONS FOR 2014!*     Continue reading →

FOUR MORE COLLEGE BASEBALL CHAMPIONS CROWNED

* NAIA *

Faulkner U Eagles logoThe NAIA’s top seeded FAULKNER UNIVERSITY EAGLES ended the Cinderella run of the 7th seeded LEWIS-CLARK STATE WARRIORS. It’s rare for Lewis-Clark State to be considered Cinderellas on the diamond but how else would you describe a 7 seed in the championship game? At any rate Faulkner lived up to all the hype enroute to its first ever national title in baseball. By the 2nd inning the Eagles’ sound and fury had given them a 6-2 lead over the Warriors. By the 4th it was an 8-2 lead, then a 10-2 lead after 7, all climaxing with an 11-4 final score. Congratulations to Faulkner, the 2013 baseball champions of the NAIA (National Association of Continue reading →
