After finishing up their first fall in the National Club Baseball Association's (NCBA) Division II, the Neumann University Club Baseball team earned a 3-3 overall record, taking two out of three games versus Mount Saint Mary's, winning a single, non-conference matchup with UPenn, and dropping a doubleheader to the University of Maryland. The club will resume their 2018-19 campaign this spring with three-game series versus Rowan University, Johns Hopkins University, and Stevenson University. Neumann also needs to reschedule another matchup with the University of Maryland after weather forced the postponement of the single contest in the three-game affair in the fall.   

The Knights returned six starters from last season and will have five in action this spring with second baseman Jeff Dellafranco completing his undergraduate degree in December. After four years of play, the club qualified for the postseason for the first time in 2017-2018, courtesy of an undefeated season in the NCBA Division III. Fresh off the advancement to Division II, Neumann is looking to make another trip to the playoffs and will be led by the their three seniors, Jon Abbott, Mike Cox, and Collin Kelly.
