SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) -Augustana’s baseball team will not be getting an opportunity to compete in the NCAA Division Two Baseball Tournament.
The eight team Central Regional bracket was just revealed about late Sunday night and the Vikings, for the first time since 2017 didn’t see their name on it, ending a run of six straight NCAA Tournament appearances.
Ranked 9th in the region, Augie was on the bubble after Saturday’s NSIC Championship loss to 2nd ranked Mankato. It’s likely that Harding, who had been behind them in 10th, stole their bid today by winning their conference tournament, thus earning the automatic bid which was the 8th and final spot in the field.
The Vikings end the season 39-16.
