Centenary breaks through

Centenary's 5-1 vctory over Arkansas is important for several reasons.

One, even thought it is a midweek win, it's a midweek win over an SEC school. College baseball is probably the one sport where, at times, it helps to be a mid-major. For instance, the majority of players who sign with SEC-type schools stand a legitimate chance of being drafted and never seeing a college field.

Secondly, this will give the Gents confidence they hopefully can carry into the Summit League season. Coach Ed McCann said this was the year the Gents could make it happen, possibly reach an NCAA regional.

That remains to be seen, but Wednesday's win was a serious step in that direction.
