- By Billy Cannada - NGU
North Greenville University (NGU) has hosted two NCAA Division II baseball Super Regionals since 2019, and the No. 1 ranked defending national champions will do it again this weekend in Tigerville.
NGU punched its ticket to the Southeast Super Regional with back-to-back wins (11-5, 9-2) over Mount Olive last weekend at Ray and Bea Dillard Field at Ashmore Park.
“This team has already accomplished so much,” said Head Coach Landon Powell. “They were ranked No. 1 in the country during the preseason, and they stayed No. 1 all year long. We have a body of work that’s impressive, and hopefully they can keep that confidence and remember who they’ve been all year long during the Super Regional.”
