2005 Northeast-10 Conference Champion Franklin Pierce, ranked No. 27 in the most recent Collegiate Baseball magazine Division II poll, has been selected as the top seed and will host the 2005 NCAA Division II Northeast Regional Tournament this week.

Franklin Pierce (30-12, 21-9 NE-10), which reached the 30-win plateau for the fourth-straight season after claiming its first NE-10 Tournament title on Sunday, will host the four-team double-elimination event Thursday through Saturday (May 19-21) at Dr. Arthur and Martha Pappas Field. Game times and ticket information for the event will be released on Monday afternoon.

The top-seeded Ravens will host second-seeded and No. 24-ranked Southern Connecticut State University (28-12, 25-5 NE-10), the Northeast-10 Regular Season Champions, third-seeded Adelphi University (25-17, 13-7 NYCAC) and fourth-seeded UMass Lowell (27-18, 17-13 NE-10).

Action will begin Thursday with Southern Connecticut State facing Adelphi, followed by UMass Lowell at Franklin Pierce. Action will continue with three games on Friday with the regional final on Saturday.

The Northeast Regional Champion will advance, along with the seven other regional winners to the 2005 NCAA Division II Baseball Championships in Montgomery, Ala., May 28-June 4 at Riverwalk Stadium, which will be hosted by Valdosta State University and the city of Montgomery. In the 2004 championship, Delta State University claimed its first national title by defeating the Grand Valley State University, 12-8. This year marks the 38th annual championship, and the 21st consecutive year that the finals will be held in Montgomery, Alabama.

Franklin Pierce will be hosting the Northeast Baseball Regional first the first time in school history. The contest will be held on Dr. Pappas Field, which opened just this spring. The infill artificial surface was installed by EdelGrass, Inc., of Amsterdam, Holland, and is the first facility of its kind constructed by the company in the United States.

Franklin Pierce is making its second appearance in the NCAA Baseball Tournament in program history. The Ravens swept through the 2003 Northeast Regional at LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Mass., to advance to the College World Series in Montgomery, Ala., reaching the semifinal round after receiving a No. 3 seed in their first NCAA Tournament appearance.

Coachdad,
I was there and that game had to be one of the best college games this year. FP has better players then us but I think our pitching staff and our team play makes up for this. As you know Southern beat FP 4 out of 4 this year and I think its a mental thing with Coach King and the players..They always try to make the BIG play or get the BIG hit instead of just playing the game to win it. When they don't get come up big their heads go down a little and they make mistakes.. regardless.. it was a great game and I'm looking foward to being at the world series in Montgomery.

MOUNDMASTER, I would like to congratulate you as well as your Son and Southern Conn.SOUTHERN CONN deserves to go to the big show down south. Could not make the game as we were waiting on my sons schedule on a play-off game (sat or Monday) but he had practice anyway. But we both wish we were their. My son will have four years at the school and playing ball for Coach King. I plan on spending alot of time watching baseball games, so my time will come i guess. Moundmaster - enjoy this special run! I wish your son and the team the best. Bring back a trophy to the NORTHEAST party
P.S - JUST IMAGINE THE RAVENS WILL RETURN A SAME TEAM NEXT YEAR AS THEY ARE ONLY LOSING ONE SENIOR UNLESS THE DRAFT TAKES SOME BOYS.THAT IS SCARY FOR THE NORTHEAST 10 .
