BATTLE CREEK - The goal is to be the No. 1 team in the country.... on the baseball diamond.

But, until Kellogg Community College will get a chance to achieve that status at the World Series later in the season, the Bruins will have to settle on being the top team in the country on paper.

In the final rankings of the season, KCC is ranked No. 1 in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II baseball poll.

It is a first for the perennial power.

"That's the first time we've been that high. We've been ranked three, four, five. But, we've never been ranked No. 1," said KCC head coach Eric Laskovy.
