The 2009 National Club Baseball Association (NCBA) Division II World Series was played at Pullman Park in Butler, PA from May 15 to May 19. The second tournament's champion was the University of Kentucky, who won their second consecutive Division II title.
Contents
As of 2014, Kentucky is the only school to repeat as NCBA Division II National Champions. The only other school to repeat as NCBA World Series Champions in any division is Colorado State, who won three straight titles from 2004–06 and again from 2008-10 in Division I.
Format
The format is similar to the NCAA College World Series in that eight teams participate in two four-team double elimination brackets with a couple differences. One 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.
