The only other school to repeat as NCBA World Series Champions in any division is Colorado State, who won three straight titles from 2004 to 2006 and again from 2008 to 2010 in Division I. Format The format is similar to the NCAA College World Series in that eight teams participate in two four-team double elimination brackets with a couple of differences. One is that in the NCBA, there is only one game that decides the national championship rather than a best-of-3 like the NCAA. Another difference which is between NCBA Division I and II is that Division II games are 7 innings while Division I games are 9 innings.

Those records still stand as of 2014. Kentucky became the first and currently only school to repeat as NCBA Division II National Champions. Unless a team wins a title that fields both a Division I and II team, Kentucky will likely be the only repeat champion for quite a while because of new rules regarding automatic promotion to Division I for Division II teams that began on 7/1/13 which includes a team winning the NCBA Division II World Series.http://www.clubbaseball.org/div2/GetFile.aspx?fileID=4222 2014 NCBA Division II Rules clubbaseball.org 2014-05-20 References Category:Baseball competitions in Pennsylvania Category:2009 in baseball Category:National Club Baseball Association NCBA Division II World Series Category:Butler, Pennsylvania
