Nothing could prepare us for the meeting our team had yesterday. Thank you to our 4 seniors. Dylan, Alex, Joey, and Ricky gave everything they had to this program and were leading this young 2020 squad. This program is better because of these four great young men.
Over the weekend a milestone was met.
@g_elf27
reached 100 career hits. Greg has grown into a leader and cares more about the success of this team than his own. A one hop off the 400 sign is a heck of a way to get it. Congratulations.
Thank you to all that have supported the program this year. Obviously we did not reach our ultimate goal but being able to play the game we love and be together was something special. Huge sacrifices were made to make it possible. Thank you. See you next year!
Proud of this group. The resiliency they showed playing with their backs against the wall almost the entire season. They never gave up. Thank you for a great season.

Dear Mother Nature,
We believe we speak for all of baseball when we say we appreciate the 60-degree day. We hope that you can continue to bring us sun and warmth for the rest of winter into the spring.
Love,
College Baseball

#MyTopCollege
... well since 2014 the baseball program has been to at least the conference semi-finals every year. Winning two conference championships along the way. Oh and also, we have the blue monster.
Tomorrow we celebrate these guys. Over the last 4 years, they have been a part of 87 (hopefully a few more) wins, one regional appearance, 3 MAC tournaments all finishing at least in the Semi-Finals with one Championship. Let's send them off in style.
