WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK AT MONTCLAIR? MORE THAN ANYONE EXPECTED

 A quiet week on campus, but a massive one for Montclair Baseball.

 Baseball Dominates the Headlines with Eight All‑Region Selections

Montclair State Baseball delivered the lone — but major — storyline of the week, as eight Red Hawks earned spots on the 2026 ABCA/Rawlings and D3Baseball.com All‑Region teams. 

This recognition caps a postseason stretch that saw Montclair battle through the NCAA Tournament and close the year as one of the most decorated rosters in the region.

 Why This Matters

– Eight honorees marks one of the program’s strongest regional showings in recent years. 

– The awards reflect standout performances across pitching, hitting, and defensive roles. 

– It reinforces Montclair’s status as a top‑tier Division III baseball program heading into the next recruiting cycle.

 Momentum from the NCAA Tournament

Though their tournament run ended earlier in May, the Red Hawks’ postseason push clearly resonated with voters. Their May 15–16 NCAA Regional performances — including the program’s first NCAA Tournament win since 2008 — set the stage for these accolades.

 The Vibe Around the Program

Even with the season officially closed, the energy around Yogi Berra Stadium feels like anything but an offseason. The All‑Region sweep signals a roster built on depth, development, and consistency — and it positions Montclair as a team to watch when fall ball rolls around.
