CCBL Regular Season Ends, Sturbridge University #1 Overall Seed
Another regular season is in the books, and the playoffs will begin in a couple of days. It will be a battle of survival -- and the final survivor will be the Commonwealth Collegiate Baseball League champions. The "haves" will be in their radiant glory, playing for the league title, while the "have-nots" will be at home, sitting by the hot stove until springtime.
The quest for the Commonwealth Collegiate Baseball League College Series championship gets underway today. The regular season is now over and the so-called "second season" begins. For fan and player alike this is the sweetest part of the season -- the Play-in Round. The baseball experts have made their predictions, but teams will do it or die on the diamond. The best team doesn't always win -- sometimes it's the lucky team that is fated to win the crown -- sometimes it's the team that gets hot late in the season that wins -- and sometimes talent wins out and takes the glory. The winner will be one of these teams:
#1 Sturbridge Mighty Men (BYE)
#17 Northeastern Huskies vs #16 Holy Cross Crusaders
#24 Cape Cod University Sharks vs #9 Providence College Friars
#8 Quincy College Masons (BYE)
