YEAR IN REVIEW

Endicott posted a 47-4 overall record, a 13-1 conference mark, and a perfect 25-0 record at home.

The Gulls captured their third straight Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championship, won the Mansfield Regional Championship, and swept No. 6/7 Johns Hopkins (7-5, 10 inn. | 5-2) at home to punch their ticket to the College World Series for the second straight season.

At the NCAA Division III Championship, Endicott secured its first-ever victory on the game's biggest stage by defeating No. 9/12 Pomona-Pitzer, 7-6, in walk-off fashion on Saturday, June 1.

Additional milestones for this year's squad include a program record 47 wins, becoming the first varsity sport in school history to earn a No. 1 national ranking, and a third straight New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) D3 Team of the Year award.
