Chico State head coach Dave Taylor, despite his team losing out of the Division II NCAA tournament, hopes Cary keeps the tourney in the future.
“This is a big upgrade for Division II baseball,” Taylor said. “Driving back and forth through the Town of Cary, you feel like it’s the Beverly Hills of North Carolina. It’s a very nice area with nice people and the tournament is well run by the USA staff and the NCAA.”
