Before closing for good, BSC will play for a national title.

Birmingham’s never-say-die baseball team of destiny is moving on. Before their school closes for good, the Panthers will play for a national championship. At this point, the only thing keeping the school alive is a plucky baseball team that refuses to go away. Birmingham-Southern College swept its three-game super regional series with Denison University on Saturday in Granville, Ohio, and the baseball team playing for a school that’s closing down is now headed to the Division III College Baseball World Series. BSC is shutting its doors on May 31. The D-III World Series begins on the same day in Eastlake, Ohio.
Birmingham-Southern led 5-4 going into the ninth inning of the Game 2, but Charlie Banks of BSC doubled home two more runs to ensure the dramatic victory.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
