The Cochise College baseball team is predicted to win the NJCAA Division I Western District title again this year.
The predictions were released on the NJCAA website Monday and are based off a survey provided to all NJCAA baseball programs.
In the last two seasons, the Apaches have won back-to-back district titles — the first Western District team to do so since district tournaments were implemented in 2000. With those wins, the Apaches have made back-to-back appearances in the NJCAA Division I World Series — a feat not accomplished in Region I since Cochise did it in 1988 and ’89.
