Dear MDC family,
I am proud to share that our Sharks Baseball team was crowned the FCSAA State/NJCAA South Atlantic District Champion by defeating Santa Fe State College 10-5 on May 9, 2021. This punched the Sharks a ticket to compete in the 2021 NJCAA JUCO World Series in Grand Junction, CO., which will take place May 29-June 5, 2021.
The last time the Sharks won the State Championship was in 2014, and they finished NJCAA National Champion Runner-up.
Under the leadership of Coach Morales, the Sharks finished the regular season with a record of 36 and 17. MDC has one of the most storied baseball programs in collegiate sports history with numerous legendary players and coaches who’ve gone on to enjoy success at the university and professional levels.
MDC’s Department of Athletics prides itself in the sponsorship of academic development and the promotion of sports. MDC teams have earned a total of 35 NJCAA national titles, including 15 in women’s sports. Its student athletes have succeeded everywhere from the professional playing field to the board room. Many MDC sports alumni are members of the halls of fame in their respective collegiate and professional sports. Others are leaders in business and industry.
I look forward to seeing our athletes compete in the national championship. Sending you the best of luck. Go Sharks!
