The 10-team field for the NJCAA Division I World Series in Grand Junction, Colo.,  is complete.

Defending national champion Blinn (Texas) (45-13) is among the entrants. Florence-Darlington Tech (51-10) is making it second straight appearance and fourth overall.

Then Stingers lost a pair of games to Florida Southwestern (44-15), another qualifier, in a Florida tournament in February.

Also in is top-ranked Walters State (55-6-1) of Morristown, Tenn., which frequently dots Region 10 nonconference schedules. The Senators beat USC Salkehatchie three times and USC Union twice this season.

Completing the field are Eastern Oklahoma State (31-25), Johnson CC (Kan.) (51-11),  Lake Land (Ill.) (42-19), McLennan (Texas) (45-16), Salt Lake City CC (43-10) and Shelton State (Ala.) (48-12).

Seedings and first-round pairings are to be announced Tuesday with the first four games on Saturday at Sam Suplizio Field. The tournament continues through May 31.
