2013 NCBA Division I World Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2013 National Club Baseball Association (NCBA) Division I World Series was played at University of Tampa Baseball Stadium in Tampa, FL from May 24 to May 30. The thirteenth tournament's champion was Penn State University. The Most Valuable Player was Kyle Gilbert of Penn State University.[1]
The format is similar to the NCAA College World Series in that eight teams participate in two four-team double elimination brackets with the exception of a one-game national championship rather than a best-of-3 format to determine the national champion like the NCAA. Beginning with the 2013 edition of the NCBA Division I World Series, the losers of Games 7 and 8 were sent to the other half of the bracket in addition to the losers of Games 1–4.
