WVC baseball tourney gets under way today

As the West Virginia Conference baseball tournament gets an early start this morning in Johnstown, Pa., four of the six teams are ranked in the top six in the NCAA Division II North Atlantic Region.

Concord has risen to the top of the region, with Pitt Johnstown third, West Virginia State fifth and Shepherd sixth. Six teams will make up the North Atlantic Region field, with the WVC and Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference tournament champions getting an automatic bid.

The regional rankings give new urgency to this morning's first-round game between State (32-11) and Shepherd (28-19). The Rams moved up two spots in this week's ranking, while the Yellow Jackets stayed put at No. 5.
