Former Parkway Central High School player and current Southeast Missouri State Redhawks right handed pitcher, Anthony Klein, will compete in the NCAA D1 Baseball Championship Tournament.

There are 64 teams in the tournament, with the final eight teams receiving an invite to Omaha, Nebraska to play for the College World Series title.

The Southeast Missouri State Redhawks begin the tournament as a number four seed and will square off against the first seeded Arkansas Razorbacks.

The first round, Regionals, is double elimination where a team is only eliminated after two losses. From there, 16 teams will make the Super Regionals and play a best-of-three series.

Finally, the eight winners from Super Regionals will head to Omaha for a chance to play for the title of College World Series Champion!
