The University of Wyoming club baseball team narrowly missed a Division II National Club Baseball Association World Series title after losing to No. 2 seeded Penn State 13-11 in extra innings in Tuesday’s championship game. 

The Cowboys were seeded first going into the tournament.

They started the championship on a good note, holding an 11-5 lead going into the third inning, but were unable to hold onto their lead.

“Penn State was a team we knew would hit hard, and they did. We gave it our all, but we didn’t keep up though,” head coach Aaron Lozano said.

He added that he felt great having had the opportunity to represent both the university as well as the state at the tournament. 

This was the third time in four years the Cowboys have made it to the World Series. However, this was the first time they had made it to the championship game.

Lozano admired the support the university and the community showed in the team’s journey to the national tournament.

“I feel like without those people we wouldn’t have been able to do it,” he said.

“Most of all, I’m proud of the team. And it’s fun to know most of these guys are from Wyoming.”
