Indianapolis, Ind. – The Le Moyne College baseball team has been selected to the NCAA Baseball Championships for the 20th time, as announced by the NCAA Division II Baseball Selection Committee on Sunday night on NCAA.com.
The Dolphins are the third seed in the seven-team East Regional, which will be split into two sites. The Dolphins will be in the East Region #2 bracket, which will be hosted by second-seeded Goldey-Beacom College at the University of Delaware's Bob Hannah Stadium.
The Dolphins (31-19), who are making their second consecutive NCAA tournament appearance, will open the regional against sixth-seeded Queens College (33-17), the East Coast Conference champion, on Thursday at 3:30 p.m. The second game of the opening day will pit second-seeded Goldey-Beacom (34-18) against seventh-seeded Felician University (25-30), the CACC Conference tournament champions, at 7:00 p.m..
The other half of the East Region is top-seeded Southern New Hampshire University (37-11), fourth-seeded Franklin Pierce University (34-17), along with the Northeast-10 Conference Champion and fifth-seeded Pace University (33-19).
The East Region #2 bracket will consist of two games on Thursday, two games on Friday, two games on Saturday and an "if necessary" game on Sunday. East Region #1 will feature two games on Thursday, two games on Friday and an "if necessary" game on Saturday.
The winner of East #1 will square off with the winner of East #2 in a best-of-three super regional on May 26 and 27 at the site of the higher seeded team.
The champion of each of the eight super regionals will advance to the eight-team, double-elimination championship finals to be held June 3-10 at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina.
The Dolphins won 14 of their final 16 regular season games to put themselves towards the top of the final East Region rankings.
Le Moyne won their first two contests of the NE10 Championship before dropping two games on the second day of Championship Weekend, which eliminated them from the conference tournament.
