24-23 overall, 11-10 Ivy League. . . . 2397. . . 4. . penn

The Penn Quakers are in the Tournament for the second-straight year after a surprising run in the Ivy League Tournament. Last year Penn stunned the nation by starting 2-0 in the Auburn regional before dropping two-straight to be eliminated. The Quakers aren't nearly as strong this year, but the program has some confidence after last season.

Biggest Strength: The Quakers are good at drawing walks. They led the Ivy League with 254 walks this season.

Player to Know: Third-baseman Wyatt Henseler has had an outstanding year. He's batting .372 with 55 RBI and set an Ivy League record with 22 home runs.

Key Stat: Penn has won six of their last seven games. If you buy into the idea of getting hot at the right time in baseball, the Quakers have some momentum behind them entering Charlottesville.
