Alex Madera left Delran High without a Division I scholarship offer but is now just two wins away from the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. He was a Division III All-American at Arcadia, the small private college where he hit .432 over four seasons and was twice the Middle Atlantic Conference player of the year. That success continued at North Carolina. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
