The 2008 National Club Baseball Association (NCBA) Division II World Series was played at League Stadium in Huntingburg, IN from May 16 to May 20. This was the first time that the NCBA had offered a Division II World Series for club baseball teams.

Contents

The University of Kentucky won the inaugural NCBA Division II World Series over the University of Illinois in walk-off fashion.

Format

The format is similar to the NCAA College World Series in that eight teams participate in two four-team double elimination brackets with the only difference being that in the NCBA, there is only one game that decides the national championship rather than a best-of-3 like the NCAA. Another difference which is between NCBA Division I and II is that Division II games are 7 innings while Division I games are 9 innings.
