NJCAA DII World Series: Hinds Marshall Boggs from Cleveland Mississippi went 5-for-5, scored twice and drove in two runs to tie the record for the most hits in the Series (14 hits) as the Eagles eliminated the Wolfpack of Madison Wisconsin 12-6 on Friday to reach today’s JUCO national title game. Hinds has been pouring it on, scoring 53 runs in its five games in the NJCAA DII World Series national championship tournament in Enid Oklahoma. Boggs had a big part in that with his 14 hits. He will break the series record if he collects a hit in tonight’s game. Toler Robinson (Pearl) was 3-for-5 with an RBI. Luke Reynolds (Forest) was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Quade Smith (Brandon) scored twice. Matt Jones (Madison MS) had a two-RBI single in the eighth. Chase Lunceford (freshman from Clinton MS) went 0-for-4 but had a sacrifice fly for an RBI. Freshman right-hander Randy Bell (Woodville) went five innings, allowing seven hits and four runs. He struck out six and walked only one. Michael Jolly (Mobile AL) was solid in relief, throwing 2.2 innings and allowing three hits, two runs (one earned) and picking up two strikeouts. Gage Posey (Brookhaven) and Derek Martin (Flora) recorded the last four outs without allowing Madison to score. Keith Browning had an amazing night for Madison, going two-for-four at the plate, including a solo homer in the fifth. He threw out a runner at home and made two spectacular catches in the field. Hinds has never won a Division II World Series title. Mesa is seeking its first baseball championship since 1972. The game is set for 7 pm tonight (Saturday, May 31), David Allen Memorial Ballpark in Enid, Oklahoma. It will be broadcast via live stream at njcaatv Mesa Community College located in Mesa Arizona handed Hinds its only loss in the Series on Thursday night. The Eagles have the opportunity for some pay-back tonight when they play the Thunderbirds for the title. The Eagles reached the ultimate destination in Enid after defeating previously No. 1 ranked Jones County Junior College (twice) and No. 2 ranked Louisiana State University-Eunice in the Region XXIII tournament. Hinds started the 2014 season on a rocky note and sat at 4-8 overall through the first 12 games of the season, but caught fire just prior to South division play and the rest, as they say, is history. They have won 5 of 6 games in the Series and have a chance at the national title tonight. Sam Temple, the Eagles’ Head Coach, lives in Clinton with his wife Kristen and their three children, sons Garren and Gage, and daughter Grayson.
