Congratulations on a great season, baseball!
The Penmen baseball team captured their sixth NCAA East Region crown to earn the program's fourth straight trip to the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship in Cary, N.C. SNHU's six visits to Cary are the second most of any institution since the D2 World Series was moved to Cary in 2009, while its five trips since 2018 are tops in the nation. SNHU kicked off its stay with its community engagement day, playing baseball with children at the Miracle League of the Triangle. The Penmen then opened the tournament with a 7-0 victory against Catawba College on June 2, but lost to the No. 1 team in the country – the University of Tampa – June 4 and then dropped a re-match with Catawba the next day to see their season draw to a close as one of five teams left standing.
