Overview
- Bentley advanced to the Division II College World Series with a 3-2 walk-off victory over Molloy when Stan DeMartinis III scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth on Saturday.
- Sam Belliveau gave Bentley eight strong innings with eight strikeouts in the deciding game and reliever Keegan Antelman threw a hitless ninth to earn the win.
- Endicott clinched a 12-4 Game 3 win over Salve Regina in Newport to reach the Division III World Series for the fourth straight year, paced by multi-run homers and a three-hit attack.
- Both teams will travel to their World Series sites with Division II play beginning in Cary, North Carolina and Division III play starting in Eastlake, Ohio on Friday.
- Bentley’s trip marks the program’s first-ever DII World Series berth and Endicott’s fourth straight appearance makes it the first DIII team since SUNY Cortland (1997–2001) to reach four consecutive championships, a boost to each program’s profile and recruiting.
