MCC(24-22)will be making its fourth consecutive trip to the NJCAA Division III World Series in Tyler, TX starting Saturday, May 21st at 5PM.
The team will fly to Dallas out of Bradley on Thursday morning early and drive to Tyler in three vans driven by coaches Chris Strahowski, Shawn Barry and yours truly.
Over the course of the World Series, I will keep you informed and in touch with the team as if you were in the heart of TX with us.
The Cougars will face Eastfield College (34-19) first in the eight-team, double elimination tournament.
A little about Eastfield College-
Located just east of Dallas, the Harvesters beat World Series host Tyler Junior 10-5 College in the Metro Athletic Conference District C championship game on Sunday, May 22.
Eastfield won the NJCAA DIII World Series in 2006 and the program has had eight players drafted by Major League teams, including Steven Hill from their 2005 team. Hill was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 34th round, called up to the show last summer and hit a homerun in his first major game on August 15, 2010.
