*The game finished 5-5 due to time constraints; per BUCS Baseball Regulation 7.3.1, in case of a tie at the end of the last open inning, “the winner will be determined by count-back to the last team that held the lead at the end of an inning.”

Note: The University of Aberdeen withdrew from the tournament with late notice; per BUCS Baseball rules, each of their scheduled fixtures is considered a 7-0 forfeit.

Standings After Day 1

Unfortunately, due to inclement weather and wet field conditions, day two of the BUCS National Baseball Championship was called off. Further updates will be provided as they become available, and BaseballSoftballUK would like to sincerely thank the teams, players, staff, and umpires for their patience and understanding.
