Bentley ready for postseason push in NE10 tournament 

The Bentley University baseball team is making a bid for the NCAA championship at the Northeast-10 conference tournament, which kicks off May 7 at Southern New Hampshire University. If the Falcons win the tourney, they’re automatically in the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship playoffs.

After grinding through a competitive regular season in one of Division II’s toughest conferences, the Falcons put themselves in position for a postseason run last week. A four-game sweep of Adelphi gave Bentley 36 wins for the season, which is the most in program history. 

The Falcons (36-13, 28-8 NE10) earned the No. 2 seed for the Northeast 10 Championship. 

Bentley has relied on a balanced approach throughout the spring, combining timely hitting with steady pitching, led by junior Brendan Sencaj’s 14 home runs and key wins by Falcons pitcher and Waltham native Sam Belliveau.

That consistency will be critical in a tournament setting, where quick turnarounds and high-pressure moments often determine who advances. 

With their NCAA hopes on the line, the Falcons will look to capitalize on the opportunity and extend their season.
