Baseball Celebrates East Region Title in Photos

The Franklin Pierce University baseball team laid claim to the sixth NCAA Regional title in program history on Sunday, with a 5-1 win over Wilmington (Del.) at Penmen Field on the campus of Southern New Hampshire in Manchester, N.H. We've assembled a small collection of photos from the celebratory aftermath.

Dogpile The Ravens dogpile on top of each other on the first-base side of the pitcher's mound. Somewhere at the bottom of that mess is Joe Flynn, who got a called strike three to end things (photo courtesy Northeast-10 Conference).
Splashdown Head Coach Jayson King (center of huddle) gets a celebratory shower. Seniors Nick LaCroix (7) and Vladimir Camacho (24, right of LaCroix) do the honors. Calvin Graves (2) jumps for a better look. Assistant Coach Mike Chambers (right, maroon top) gets caught in the crossfire (photo courtesy Northeast-10 Conference).
