Mason, OH:  The Oklahoma Baptist University (OBU) Bison repeated as NCCAA Baseball National Champions in nearly the same way they won it a year ago, when they hit a walk-off grand slam. This time around, the No. 1 seeded Bison found themselves trailing No. 5 Campbellsville University 6-2 after five innings, but scored 4 runs over the next three innings to tie the game at 6-6. In the bottom of the tenth inning and with 2 runners on, OBU’s Josh Timms popped out on a shallow fly ball, allowing Kevin Olmeda to score on a close play at the plate and give the Bison the 7-6 win. On the journey to the championship game, OBU went 4-0 in pool play and outscored its opponents 57-11 in the process. The Bison defeated No. 9 Ecclesia College 15-3, No. 4 Alice Lloyd College 19-1, No. 8 Bluefield College 13-1, and Campbellsville University 10-6. In their semifinal matchup against No. 2 Emmanuel College, the Bison continued their dominance with a 9-2 win, punching their ticket to the championship game.
