NJCAA Region XI Baseball - Championship Game

Iowa Central Community College defeated Southeastern Community College 6-4 to advance to the NJCAA Region XI Championship Game. Iowa Central will face Ellsworth at 2:00 PM today. If Iowa Central wins, the tournament is over. If Ellsworth wins, we will be coming back tomorrow (Monday) to play the double-elimination championship game at 11:00 AM.

Championship Day, Maybe...

The end is in sight for NJCAA Region XI Baseball Tournament at Carroll Stadium. Only 3 teams remain in the tournament: Iowa Central, Southeastern, and Ellsworth. The pressure is on Iowa Central to remain undefeated in the tournament and take the trophy home today. The double-elimination tournament has the potential to go until Monday if Iowa Central gets a loss. To see the tournament bracket and other information, you can go to www.iccac.org.

The rumors of rain today are starting to look more and more false. The sun is shining and the first game of the day has started off with some big home runs and great defensive plays. Come join the fun!!
