The Birmingham-Southern College Panthers advanced to the Division III College World Series next week — and will play for a school that no longer exists. Jakob Zito's two-run triple keyed an early three-run outburst as the Panthers beat Denison University in Granville, Ohio, 7-6, on Saturday.
BSC qualified for postseason play, won three games last weekend and advanced to the final 16 this weekend, toppling heavily favored Denison. With Saturday’s super regional clinching win, BSC earned a spot in the Division III CWS which starts on Friday at Classic Auto Park in Eastlake, Ohio, home of the Lake County Captains, high-A affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians.
