WINGATE, N.C. – After their second consecutive NCAA DII Championship appearance, the University of Indianapolis baseball team has landed at No. 9 in the final NCBWA rankings.
The Greyhounds earn the distinction after capturing their second-straight
NCAA Midwest Super Regional title, marking their fourth in program history and second under Greyhounds' skipper
Al Ready. The Hounds battled both eventual-champion
Tampa and
Catawba at the "World Series."
Â
The Hounds historic season ended with 41-21 record, the highest win total for Ready during his tenure. Three players finished with OPS marks above 1.000 with
Easton Good,
Caleb Vaughn and
Cole Hampton filling that total. The mark that set the Hounds apart, however, was a team .438 on base percentage, a number that placed the Greyhounds 15th in all of Division II by the time the season was over.
Â
E.J. White was an honoree in the NCBWA All-Midwest Region First Team for his efforts as the Greyhounds closer. He finished the season with 13 saves, which was good enough for third in all of DII.
