Clermont Northeastern is the champion of the Southern Buckeye Conference American Division (SBC-A) baseball race.

The Rockets finished 20-6 overall and 12-1 in the conference.

“I know this sounds crazy, but last year’s bad season helped us a lot this year,” said the Rockets’ head diamond coach Mike Kirk. “Having to play so many underclassmen last year gained a lot of experience for us. We had only one senior on the varsity last year. We have 10 or 11 players who returned from that team and they all played summer and fall ball, too.”
