WORLD SERIES CENTRAL: GAME ONE PREVIEW: SOUTHERN MAINE

JACKSON- A day after the Millsaps Majors punched their first ticket to the College World Series in school history, the Majors now know who and when they are playing. 

The D-III World Series bracket has been released and you can pencil in the Southern Maine Huskies as the champions of the Harwich regional. 

The Huskies, champions of the Little East Conference, come in with an impressive mark of 42-8 on the season. They defeated Endicott 9-0 to reach Appleton. They came into their regional ranked #14 in the D3Baseball/NCAA top-25. The university is located in Gorham, Maine about eight miles outside of Portland. The school has nearly 11,000 students and was founded in 1878. 

The Huskies come into the World Series boasting an offense that has equally guady numbers as the Majors vaunted attack. The Huskies hit a robust .347 as a team, compared to .339 for the Majors. Tucker White and Nick Grady form a powerful one-two punch in the heart of the Southern Maine order. White hit .411 on the season with 10 home runs, 56 runs batted in, 73 runs scored and 35 stolen bases. Grady led the team with 59 runs driven in and a .417 average. As a team, the Huskies love to run, stealing 139 bases on the season. 

The ace of their pitching staff is Logan Carman. The junior is 12-0 with a 1.62 earned run average over 89 innings. Carman doesn't appear to be overpowering, having struck out 56 batters over those 89 innings. 

Game one is set for 10 a.m. on Friday morning. Video and complete coverage is being provided by Turner Sports through the NCAA Division-III website.
