Pittsburg State Gorilla baseball reached new program heights over the weekend, advancing to NCAA-II Super Regionals for the first time in school history.

 

PSU scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to break an 8-8 tie, and win a thriller over Minnesota State University. The Gorillas will now advance to meet No. 3 Central Missouri in a best-of-three series beginning Thursday.

 

Former Johnson County star Dagen Brewer hit a two-run home run, his 23rd of the season, in a seven-run second inning. Brewer is hitting .385 on the season with 24 home runs and 78 runs batted in.

 

Plenty of other KJCCC faces found their way to Pittsburg, with former Butler pitcher Tanner Leslie, former Barton infielder Jace Stewart, former Cowley pitcher Boston Dowd, and former Red Raven Ryan Leiker all on the roster. Current Red Ravens Eric Bacon and Landin Midgett are also committed to PSU.
