[Baseball] USK, BENU Record Firsts as NAIA Qualifiers

For the California Pacific Conference, there were plenty of "firsts" when the NAIA announced the 45-team field and pairings for the 2021 NAIA Baseball National Championship Opening Round.  Saint Katherine, the Cal Pac Championship tournament winner, earned the automatic bid to the national tournament, marking the Firebirds' first conference baseball title and first appearance in the NAIA tournament.  Also, for the first time a Cal Pac team received an at-large berth in the field when tournament runner-up Benedictine-Mesa was added to the event.  It is the first time that the Redhawks have qualified for the NAIA tournament.
