Centenary is on the road this weekend in Georgia to face LaGrange College in the first game of its best-of-five series in the 2022 NCAA Division III Baseball Championship today at Cleaveland Field in Williamson Stadium.

The series begins today with a doubleheader between the Gents (27-16) and Panthers (37-6) at Noon Eastern time. The series continues Saturday with game three at noon Eastern and if necessary, game four will start 45 minutes following game three. If a game five is necessary, it will be played Sunday at noon Eastern time.

Centenary received an automatic bid to the championship after winning the Southern Collegiate Athletic Championship. It is the Gents second NCAA national tournament after making their first appearance in 2017.

LaGrange claimed its fifth straight USA South Athletic Conference title to make its sixth overall appearance. It is the first time a LaGrange College athletic team has hosted a NCAA event.

The national tournament field is made up of 60 teams playing in 14 four-team regions and two two-team regions. The 16 region winners advance to the Super Regionals.
