CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — The Parkland Cobras are looking to three-peat in the Region 24 NJCAA DII Championship Game.

Ranked 24th nationally and seeded first in the region, Parkland is poised to face the winner of Lincoln Land vs. Lewis & Clark for what would be a third-straight Region 24 title.

“We practice all year to be in these moments, so I think we’re really excited,” said sophomore pitcher Claire Black. “It’ll be really great. You know, we do grind all year for these games.”

Parkland is 35-14 on the year, sweeping both potential championship game opponents in the regular season.

“Even though you play them six times a year, it’s always unexpected, but you just always got to step up and play your game,” said sophomore third baseman Kailee Otto.

Lincoln Land and Lewis & Clark will play at 11 a.m. on Tuesday at Parkland, with the championship game set for roughly 1:30 p.m.
