Episode 20: New England Regional (Harwich, MA) Preview

Welcome to Episode 20 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. This is the fourth of our eight postseason regional preview podcasts -- this one focuses on the 8-team New England Regional which will take place in Harwich, MA. We break down each of the eight teams. In order: #1 UMass-Boston (at 1:44) The Beacons have been rolling all season long; can anyone slow them down in Harwich? #8 Penn State-Berks (at 4:05) Toby Welk might be able to win the regional on his own (with a little help from Tyler Comport) #2 Oswego State (at 7:17) Fresh off an incredible run to a SUNYAC title, the Lakers are ready to live up to their #2 seed label in a strong regional #7 Suffolk (at 9:09) The Rams had no trouble winning the GNAC, but their non-conference schedule is really what prepared them for stronger regional competition #3 Keystone (at 10:58) This Giants team seemingly has more impact talent than recent Keystone contenders; can they make it back to Appleton? #6 Mitchell (at 12:50) Another strong campaign in the NECC for the Mariners, but have they got what it takes against stronger competition? #4 Western New England (at 14:38) The Golden Bears take more walks than almost any other team in the nation; can they OBP their way to Appleton? #5 Ramapo (at 16:50) A strong year in the NJAC should prepare the Roadrunners for a deep regional run We conclude with our top players and pitchers to watch, and our pick to punch their ticket to Appleton (at 18:43). Then we say goodbye. Thanks for listening!
