Official DIII World Series Press Release

Due to the amount of teams across all divisions officially unable to compete this spring due to school/municipal COVID-19 mandates, necessary consolidation was needed.  With that, the NCBA will not be hosting Divisional League play this this spring, but rather a combined NCBA season.  Please note that all Division I, II, and III teams that ARE eligible to compete this spring will be invited to play in a conferences that may be a mix of any combination of DI, DII and DIII teams.  Please be sure to follow all this season’s action through the main NCBA Website.

If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at

The NCBA will not be hosting a Division III league for the spring 2021 season.   For more information, please view the official press release HERE.

Unfortunately the impacts of the Corona Virus and the most up-to-date measures to prevent spread have now terminally impacted the NCBA’s chances of hosting any NCBA Division III post season activities.  There are currently only two NCBA DIII teams who have NOT officially been shut down for the remainder of the school year.   Additionally the World Series host hotel has been shut down through June 1^st as has Sargent’s Stadium with all operations staff having been furloughed indefinitely.

With that being said, it is with great disappointment to notify all NCBA Division III member teams that we must cancel the 2020 District Playoffs (May 1-3) and the 2020 NCBA DIII World Series (May 15-17) scheduled to be held in Johnstown, PA.  With an insufficient number of teams potentially able to compete and no access to our World Series venue, hosting these events has become impossible regardless if the country were to “reopen” on May 1^st.

With only 42% of the regular season having been completed prior to the outbreak, we have decided not to crown any District Champions or a National Champion this season

While we can all agree, this is certainly not how we envisioned or wanted this season to come to an end, it is the reality given the impact of COVID-19.  We thank you all for your continued support of the NCBA and the love for the game.

We do wish we were in a much different state of the world and had much better news to provide.  However, we have been optimistic throughout this process and will continue to do so.  We hope that you can share in our optimism and know that we as a league will be better than ever in 2020-2021.

We will be in touch in the coming days and weeks with updates on this past season as well as the upcoming one.  Also, please be sure to check your email regularly, as we will be in touch soon regarding plans moving forward to prepare for next season.  If you have any questions in the meantime, please let us know.  Stay safe!

Sincerely,

Congratulations to Millersville University on winning the NCBA Division III World Series!! They defeated Missouri S&T today 10-3. In a back and forth affair, it was Millersville’s offense and pitching performance that prevailed.  For the first time in NCBA DIII history, there were Co-MVP’s named, Joey Fisher of Millersville and Brandon Devlin of Missouri S&T. Joey was the starting pitcher for Millersville in the championship game as he threw a complete game and drove in a pair of runs. Brandon Devlin unfortunately passed away right before the season began for S&T and this season was dedicated to him, thus he has been named a Co-MVP in his honor.

Another action packed day of baseball at the DIII World Series.  The first game of the day featured the winner’s bracket with #1 Eastern Michigan taking on #2 Millersville.  In a close pitching duel, Millersville secured a 2-1 victory placing them in the National Championship game on Sunday.  This game was followed up with an offensive outburst between #3 Missouri S&T and #4 Lander.  Missouri S&T brought the power as they won 15-3 and officially eliminated Lander.  The last game of the day was between Missouri S&T and Eastern Michigan to fight for the final spot in the National Championship.  In a close game for 4 innings, Missouri S&T broke it open by scoring 10 runs in the 5th inning.  They went on to hold their lead a punching their ticket to the National Championship with a 12-4 victory.  The Championship game is slated for 9AM Sunday morning, with the if necessary game to follow immediately after.  For an updated look at the bracket, CLICK HERE

Day 1 of the NCBA DIII World Series is officially in the books. Game 1 featured the #2 seed, Millersville University vs. the #3 seed, Missouri S&T. In a pitchers duel, Millersville came out with a 2-1 victory to put themselves in the winners bracket. Game 2 featured the #1 seed, Eastern Michigan and the #4 seed Lander. In a back and forth contest, Eastern Michigan walked it off with a 2 RBI double down the right field line for a 5-4 victory. Eastern Michigan will now host Millersville at 9am on Saturday morning for a spot in the national championship game. Immediately following that game will be the first elimination game with Missouri S&T hosting Lander. The third and final game of Saturday will decide who gets to the championship game with the loser of Eastern Michigan/Millersville and winner of Missouri S&T/Lander.  For an updated bracket, CLICK HERE
