Kelly nearly hits for the cycle

West Chester University junior Charlie Kelly went 4-for-4 with two runs batted in and three runs scored to earn tournament MVP honors and lead the seventh-ranked Golden Rams to a 14-0 victory in the championship game of the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional earlier today at Owls Field at Ted Palka Park.
West Chester (46-10) advances to the Division II College World Series for the first time since 2006. The series will be held May 23-30 in Cary, N.C. at the USA Baseball National Training Complex.
A Council Rock South alum from Churchville, Kelly sparked three separate four-run rallies in the championship game.
First, Charlie led off the second inning with a 400-foot triple to dead center that ignited the Rams’ initial four-run rally.
After West Chester batted around that inning, he then led off the third with a single and came around to score the first run of another four-run frame.
In the eighth, Kelly blasted his seventh home run of the season over the 415-foot sign in center field for a two-run shot that set off the third four-run inning of the game.
