Baseball Heading to Kean (NJ) Regional

Westfield State University baseball will travel to Kean University in Union, N.J. for the NCAA baseball regionals.   The Owls (27-14) drew a first-round matchup with Ithaca (N.Y.) College (31-7).

Kean will be the host site, and plays a first round matchup with Shenendoah (Va.) College.

The tournament format has been changed this year. The Owls bracket is a four-team, double-elimination bracket.  Play will begin on Friday, May 17.

The regional winners will advance to a two-team super regional series against the winner of the Johns Hopkins Regional.
