 LOVES PARK, Ill. – Bob Koopmann has another pennant.
The Rockford College Regents repeated as Northern Athletics Conference champions on Saturday with an 8-3 win over Concordia University of Chicago in the tournament final at Road Ranger Stadium, the home of the Rockford RiverHawks. Koopmann, the manager of the RiverHawks, is also the head coach at Rockford College. In the last five years, he has won the 2004 Frontier League pennant with the RiverHawks and the first two NAC titles.
This year’s four-team, double-elimination tournament went the full seven games after fourth-seeded Concordia pulled off a string of upsets, including two wins to eliminate top-seeded Benedictine University. Concordia beat Rockford, 11-1, in a game shortened to seven innings by the mercy rule to force a winner-take-all game.
In the finale, Rockford scored three runs on back-to-back RBI doubles in the third inning and never trailed. |
