The sixth‑ranked Johns Hopkins baseball squad is set to host an NCAA Tournament Regional from May 15 through May 17, marking the fourth consecutive year the program has organized the event. The Bison secured an automatic berth by capturing their fourth straight Centennial Conference championship, a victory that also gave them their 20th conference title and extended their unbeaten streak in league play. This triumph adds to a storied postseason résumé that now includes 28 NCAA Tournament appearances and a 56‑42 record in regional contests dating back to 1976.
The regional field features four teams: Hopkins, Pfeiffer University, Pomona‑Pitzer College and the University of Mary Washington. Each school brings a distinct narrative to the bracket — Pfeiffer earned its first USA South Championship, Pomona‑Pitzer claimed its second SCIAC title in three years, and Mary Washington earned an at‑large bid after a narrow loss in the Coast‑to‑Coast Conference championship game.
Regional Schedule Overview
Friday’s action opens at 11 a.m. with a first‑round matchup between Hopkins and Pfeiffer, the first meeting between the two programs. Later that day, Pomona‑Pitzer and Mary Washington will contest the other opening game. Saturday’s schedule sees the losers of those contests meet in an elimination slot at 11 a.m., while the winners advance to a 2:30 p.m. showdown that will determine a spot in Sunday’s Regional Final.
