Not weary bodies, nor tired arms, pitch counts, or even Northwest Florida State College could stand in the way of history. The Blinn College baseball team authored a fitting conclusion to a storybook season with a 12-5 victory over Northwest Florida State to win its first NJCAA Division I Baseball championship Saturday at Sam Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colo.

When Blinn College launches the return of its men’s and women’s cross-country teams this coming year, a Sealy harrier will be among the men’s team. Sealy senior Fernando Garza inked his college letter of intent to run cross country for Blinn College last week.
