I’m extremely excited to announce my commitment to the University of British Columbia. I would like to thank my family, coaches & teammates for pushing me to achieve this goal. Thank you to Coach Pritchett & the whole staff at UBC for giving me this opportunity. Go Thunderbirds!

Kellen Bourne hit a 3-run HR for @ubc_baseball British Columbia in the top of the first inning, and the Thunderbirds lead @BushnellBB Bushnell 4-0. With only 1 out, the Beacons brought in Tyler Biddinger to pitch. #NAIABall

British Columbia punched their ticket to the title game with an 8-2 elimination win over Bushnell in the CCC Tournament.

@bourne_kellen's three-run homer highlighted a four-run first inning, while @SugimotoKansai added a two-RBI single in the seventh.

@MDChamberlain22 threw six strong innings for the win.

UBC now moves on to the championship game against host Lewis-Clark State while also earning a spot in the NAIA Baseball Championship Opening Round.

5 Weird Pitchers:

Cristopher Sanchez BABIP
Cristopher Sanchez broke out last year as one of the game’s top 5 starting pitchers as he finished 2nd in Cy Young voting. This year, he has a similar FIP at 2.61 and ERA at 2.94 in 33.2 IP. He is having success; however, he is running the highest BABIP in the league and of his career at .423. He is managing to outpitch his bad luck, showing how elite of a pitcher he is. This is because of his elite 21.6 K-BB% (better than last year). He is elite.
