BALTIMORE, MD - The Johns Hopkins baseball team earned the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Division III Mid-Atlantic Regional Baseball Tournament beginning on Thursday, May 16th in Boyertown, PA. The Blue Jays (32-5), who earned an automatic bid by winning the Centennial Conference Tournament, will open play against No. 5 seed Alvernia College (27-9) of the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference.
Rowan University (29-8), winner of the New Jersey Athletic Conference, received the top seed and will face No. 6 seed Otterbein College (22-22) of the Ohio Athletic Conference in the first game on Thursday.
