In case you've missed it, the Trinity (Connecticut) baseball team enters today's game with Eastern Connecticut State boasting a robust 27-0 record. The Bantams are seven victories away from finishing a perfect regular season before the NESCAC tournament begins May 9.

Trinity, which is one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country, has long been one of the best baseball programs in Division III. Last year, alum Jonah Bayliss appeared in 39 games with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

This year's numbers are staggering - Trinity is outscoring its opponents 260-64 and senior Tim Kiely has allowed just one walk in 49.2 innings on the hill. The Bantams can hit, pitch and field, but most importantly, they know how to win.

There don't seem to be any teams that have finished the collegiate season undefeated and with a national championship. We know it's happened in other sports like basketball and football, so why is baseball so different? Why is running the table such a daunting task in this particular sport?

Trinity has a long road ahead with doubleheaders still scheduled against strong programs from Amherst, Brandeis and Wesleyan, but it's certainly going to be fun to watch.

Is baseball perfection possible?
