The NCAA DII Championship at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina has reached its final stages, with only four teams remaining in the two-loss elimination tournament that began on June 1st. Today's games will see the #2 seed Tampa Spartans take on the #3 seed Catawba Chiefs, with the Spartans looking to eliminate the Chiefs and secure their spot in the next round.
For Canadian baseball fans, this game holds special significance as the Tampa Spartans are the last team with a Canadian player still in contention. Right-handed pitcher Drew Howard from Whitby, Ontario, has been a key contributor for the Spartans this season, posting 3 saves, a 3.45 ERA, and 14 strikeouts over 15.2 innings pitched in 14 appearances. Howard currently ranks #5 in saves among Canadian players in NCAA Division II.
While the championship has seen several Canadian players eliminated from the tournament, it's important to recognize their contributions and accomplishments this season. A big congratulations goes out to:
As the tournament reaches its climax, all eyes will be on the Tampa Spartans and Drew Howard as they aim to keep their championship dreams alive. Best of luck to Howard and the Spartans in today's pivotal matchup against Catawba!
