WEBSTER GROVES - On Monday evening, the NCAA Division III Baseball Committee announced the sites for the eight hosts for this coming weekend's Super Regional round of the NCAA Division III Baseball Tournament. Each of the super regionals pits two of the 16 regional winners against each other in a best-of-three series with the winners of the super regionals advancing to the Division III World Series in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on May 31-June 5.

The 18th-ranked Gorloks, who earned its spot in the Super Regional round following its 11-2 win on Sunday night over North Central (Ill.) College in the championship game of the Whitewater Regional hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, will now face No. 1 ranked Concordia-Chicago this coming weekend in the Super Regional round, which will be held at Cougar Field on the CUC campus in River Forest, Ill. 

CUC, who is ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the latest ABCA/Collegiate Baseball and NCBWA/D3Baseball.com polls, earned its spot in the Super Regional following its 5-3 win on Monday afternoon over Baldwin Wallace in the second championship game of the Chicago, Ill., Regional hosted by Concordia-Chicago.

This weekend's super regional will begin with game one on Friday, May 24 with a game at 12 p.m., while the second game is scheduled for Saturday, May 25 at 11 a.m. and the if necessary game (Game 3) will follow about 45 minutes after the conclusion of game two.
