The eighth‑ranked Johns Hopkins baseball squad is set to welcome a top opponent in the NCAA Tournament Super Regional, a best‑of‑three series that will unfold at Babb Field on May 22‑23.
The Blue Jays secured the hosting privilege by downing Pomona‑Pitzer 7‑3, capturing their ninth regional championship and extending a program tradition that dates back to 2019.
Their opponent, Claremont‑Mudd‑Scripps (CMS), arrives as the 17th‑ranked team and the defending back‑to‑back Regional champion after a 6‑3 victory over Kean University in the Medford final.
Friday’s contest will mark the first ever meeting between the two programs, scheduled to start at noon, while Saturday’s elimination game is slated for 11 a.m., with a potential third game to follow.
Hopkins brings a 6‑3 Super Regional record into the series, having appeared in five such events since 2019, and will look to add another win to its storied postseason résumé.
A milestone matchup
Beyond the immediate stakes, the series represents a milestone for both schools: CMS’s back‑to‑back Regional titles underscore its rise, while Hopkins’ consistent presence highlights the depth of Division III baseball in the Mid‑Atlantic.
If the Blue Jays prevail, they will advance to the College World Series, where they could contend for a national championship, adding another chapter to a program that has become a perennial contender on the national stage.
