The Newberry College Wolves were crowned the champions of the SAC Baseball Championship Tournament for the first time since 1999. 

They defeated Lincoln Memorial in the best-of-three Championship Series. 

Newberry fell to Lincoln Memorial 11-5 in the series opener Sunday evening but responded with a 5-4 win in Game 2 on Monday to force a third game. 

The Wolves got out to an early 5-0 lead in Game 3 and secured the win by a final score of 8-4. 

Newberry’s Jacob LeBron was named the Tournament MVP. 

The rest of the All-Tournament team will be voted on and announced Tuesday by the conference.

With the win, Newberry earns an automatic qualification to the NCAA Southeast Region Tournament. 

The Selection Show will air on Sunday.
