The 2010 National Club Baseball Association (NCBA) Division II World Series was held at Point Stadium in Johnstown, PA from May 21 to May 25. The third tournament's champion was Northeastern University.[1]
Format edit
The format is similar to the NCAA College World Series in that eight teams participate in two four-team double elimination brackets with a couple differences. One being that in the NCBA, there is only one game that decides the national championship rather than a best-of-3 like the NCAA. Another difference which is between NCBA Division I and II is that Division II games are 7 innings while Division I games are 9 innings.
