What's At Stake

  • Either Salisbury or Rowan will join seven other super regional champions at the NCAA Division III Baseball Championship at Perfect Game Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on June 2-8.
  • Salisbury has made it to the Division III “College World Series” seven times (2001, '04, ‘11, ’14, ‘15, ’21, '22) and appeared in two straight finals, winning its first national championship in 2021. Another trip to Cedar Rapids would make SU the first program to advance to three straight World Series since Cortland and Emory both did so in 2014-16.
  • Rowan played in a pair of NAIA World Series in 1967-68 and won back-to-back NCAA Division III National Championships as Glassboro State College in 1978-79. The Profs have appeared in the modern Division III Baseball Championship three times, most recently in 2021.
