As the tragic events in Fort Worth highlighted, Division IV baseball is serious business, and after last weekend, twenty four teams took a step closer to getting the job done. Nineteen of the twenty four one seeds advanced, with only 2-seeds: College of Greenville, Tombigbee, UT Lubbock, Hollywood, and Bonneville upsetting the top team in their respective pairings. There were several close games as well. Daniel Boone College nearly shocked the nation, when, as a 4-seed they forced a second deciding game with Hollywood and lost in the bottom of the ninth after a solo homerun by Gene Martin put the Stars on top. All in all, six regionals were determined by one run. The Division IV Baseball Chairman called this year's baseball tournament, "the best one since last season."
The teams which won advance to eight super regionals. Each super regional consists of three teams in a double elimination format, with the 2 and 3-seeds playing the first game. Play begins this week. The Super Regional pairings are:
Prescott, AZ: 1. Ascot State, 2. UNC Boone, 3. Cabrillo College
Williamsburg, VA: 1. Peyton Randolph, 2. Anderson Greenwood, 3. College of Greenville
Strasburg, PA: 1. Penn Dutch, 2. Kokomo College, 3. Tombigbee
