TOP TEN RECAP:

The Craven CC Panthers completed their Cinderella run through the DIII Playoffs by winning the World Series in convincing fashion and securing all five first-place votes in the final poll! The Panthers, led by head coach Jimmy Griffiths and freshman standout Rusty Haswell, came out of the loser’s bracket and defeated #2 Robert Morris twice on championship Sunday by scores of 19-0 and 9-6 to leave no doubt on who the best team in Division III was this season.

Robert Morris, UW – Stevens Point, and Dickinson round out the Top 4 after each of their postseason runs were put to a stop by the Panthers in Butler this past weekend.
