Updated with corrected game schedule
The Apprentice School baseball team earned the number one seed for the 2010 U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association National Championships to be held May 10-13 at The Ballpark in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
In the ten-team event, the Builders (24-13) will open action on Monday at 1:30 pm against the winner of the 8:30 am game between eighth-seeded Clark State CC (Oh.) and ninth-seeded NHTI-Concord's Community College. This marks the second year in a row that the Builders have been the top-seed and the 11th straight season they've competed in the national tournament.
Apprentice School enters the tournament having won its last five in a row and six of its last seven games. Last weekend they went to New York and took a three-game series from USCAA opponents Briarcliffe College (10-4 and 9-1) and St. Joseph's College-Brooklyn (16-8). In that weekend series, the Builders set school records for team home runs in a game (4 vs. St. Joseph's-Brooklyn), double plays turned in a game (6 vs. Briarcliffe) and senior Jonathan Dehoux broke the single season home run record with a pair against St. Joseph's-Brooklyn to set the standard with 13.
