May 26, 2021

In the first full season of Columbia International University baseball, the CIU Rams snagged the first team national championship in school history at the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) World Series held in Easley, South Carolina. The Rams defeated Southwestern Christian (Oklahoma) 11-2 in the title game.  

The Rams swept their way through the Series, going undefeated throughout pool play, the semifinals, and championship.

The Rams went a perfect 20-0 against NCCAA member schools in 2021 to top off their historic season.
