Three Cornell starters who played high school baseball in Virginia will be going to the 2012 D1 Regional College World Series in June. All three players had HUGE and defining moments in Cornell's season and Ivy League Championship. I'm extremely proud to say these kids are great students, teammates, and baseball players.

Brenton Peters, 2nd basemen, junior from Leesburg, VA (Heritage HS)
Connor Kaufmann, RHP, sophomore from Midlothian, VA (LC Bird HS)
Kevin Tatum, 3rd/LF/DH, freshmen from Woodbridge, VA (Woodbridge HS)

novaball14,

I've edited it to be the "D1 Regional CWS". Does that proper wording work for you?

My intent was not to highlight the event but highlight the accomplishments of three Virginians who will be moving onto the national college playoffs.

If you take out the cws then yes that's better. An ncaa regional birth is an accomplishment yes but nowhere near the college world series and making it to omaha. I mean there will probably be close to 100 kids from Virginia playing in the regionals

novaball14 - Lets be SURE we do not give these kids too much credit and lets be sure to minimize their accomplishments when possible.
