Baseball and Softball Receive Bids to USCAA National Championships

Baseball and Softball Receive Bids to USCAA National Championships

BROOKLYN, N.Y.—The St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) baseball and softball teams have earned postseason berths to compete in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) National Championships taking place in a week.

Riding a five-game winning streak that secured their third straight winning campaign and 20-win season, the Bears (20-16) will make their third straight appearance in the Small College World Series entering as the No. 9 seed and will face No. 8 Penn State Beaver on Wednesday, May 13 at 8:30 a.m. in the opening round of the 10-team, double-elimination tournament, being played at the War Memorial Stadium in Hampton, Virginia.

In the 2014 tournament the Bears secured their first postseason victory upsetting No. 3 Penn State Greater Allegheny in the first round before losing to the eventual national champions, Lindenwood-Bellville. 

Fresh off clinching their first 20-win campaign since 2012 and winning their seventh straight Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title, the Lady Bears (22-16) have secured the No. 7 seed in the tournament and will face No. 10 University of Cincinnati Clermont on Monday, May 11 at 10 a.m. in the first round of the 10-team, double-elimination tournament at Firestone Stadium, in Akron, Ohio.

It is the Lady Bears seventh appearance all time—2004, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012—finishing as high as third in 2010.
