The Birmingham-Southern College baseball team has advanced to the College World Series – but by the time they play in it, the school will no longer exist. On March 26, the school announced they would 'cease operations' on May 31 after the school 'failed to win sufficient support in the Alabama House of Representatives.
The board of trustees then voted unanimously to close the college. Well, less than a week before the school will be closed, the Panthers punched their ticket to Eastlake, Ohio, where the final eight teams will be vying for the national title. Birmingham-Southern is 32-14 thus far, having earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Regional tournament – after winning their three games there, they advanced to Super Regionals, where they stayed hot, won both games, and advanced to the College World Series. The bracket is double-elimination that begins on Friday, the same day the school is set to close its doors.
