GLENSIDE, Pa. – The Arcadia University baseball team will play in its first-ever Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Southeast Championship Tournament, it was announced by the ECAC Monday. The fourth-seeded Knights will host fifth-seeded Centenary College (N.J.) Wednesday at 3:30p.m. in the first round of the single-elimination tournament.
 
LIVE COVERAGE: Arcadia will provide LIVE STATS of the first round game.
 
TICKET INFORMATION: Admission to Wednesday's game is FREE!
 
ABOUT ARCADIA: The Knights are 19-14-1 for the season after splitting a non-conference doubleheader with Eastern University Saturday. Arcadia went 2-2 last week after losing a tie-break with Widener University for the fifth and final Commonwealth Conference Championship Tournament berth. The Knights feature four All-Commonwealth Conference selections, including First-Team honoree Nick Todero, Second-Team selection Michael Nessel. Senior Andonis Yiantsos and sophomore Justin Chasmar received Honorable Mention.
 
ABOUT CENTENARY: The Cyclones went 17-14 during the regular season, and finished that portion of their schedule by sweeping a three-game Colonial States Athletic Conference against Cairn University. Those three wins gave Centenary an 8-10 conference record for the year, placing it three games out of the last conference tournament slot. The 2015 CSAC All-Conference Team has yet to be announced, but Ryan Caparoni is a strong candidate for consideration with a .422 batting average, 49 hits, 13 doubles, 10 homers, 44 RBI and 38 run scored.
 
UP NEXT: The winner of that Wednesday's first round game will travel to top-seeded McDaniel College, which will host the championship weekend May 9-10. Saturday's semifinals will be played at 12 p.m. and 4 p.m., while Sunday's championship game will get underway at 2 p.m.
