Hobart concluded the tournament as the runner-up, with a record of 3-2, including two wins over RPI and a win against RIT. The team's efforts secured them a spot in the NCAA Division III Baseball Championship, set to face Mount Union.

Yes, But

While Hobart's success in the tournament and advancing to the NCAA Championship is commendable, their two losses to the host Tigers highlight areas for improvement, particularly in clutch situations.

State of Play
  • Hobart was a runner-up in the Liberty League Tournament and has secured an NCAA at-large bid.
  • The team is preparing to face Mount Union in the opening tournament game on May 15.
What's Next

Hobart will look to build momentum as they enter the NCAA Division III Championship, aiming for a strong performance against Mount Union to advance further in the tournament.

Bottom Line

Hobart's strong tournament performance and multiple records set by Garvin showcase the team's potential, but they will need to address challenges seen in previous losses to maximize their chances in the upcoming NCAA Championship.
