Coffeyville, Kan. - The Coffeyville Community College Red Raven baseball team prepares for the opening round of the Region 6 playoffs, where they will battle the Seward County Saints in a best-of-3 series in Liberal.

The Red Ravens enter the matchup with a 26-28 record, 15-17 in conference play, and are the No. 5 seed in the East division. Seward enters with a 23-35 record, 15-17 in league play, and are the No. 4 seed in the West.

Coffeyville closed conference play with sweeps of both Highland and Labette, and a series victory over Neosho County. Head Coach Jake Martin says the team has found their groove late in the season.

CCC and Seward County have not seen each other since April of 2024, with the two programs competing on opposite sides of the Jayhawk conference. Martin says the Saints have some of the league's top talent.

The Ravens have gotten production from a number of guys this season, from the rotation to the batting order. Martin adds that the mentality of the guys in the dugout has given this team a chance to overcome adversity.

Game 1 of the Seward-Coffeyville series is Thursday, May 7th, at 2 p.m. CT, Game 2 will be Friday at 1 p.m. CT, and Saturday's winner-take-all Game 3 (if necessary) would be Saturday at 1 p.m. CT.
