Changing of the guard

What's up Horizon League faithful!

Just updating everyone on a successful weekend where the Raiders clinched the #1 seed for the upcoming Horizon League Baseball Championship! Although this weekend was sort of bittersweet with it being the last home games for our seniors, we managed to send them out right with a pair of doubleheader sweeps of Cleveland State and Youngstown State.

These crucial wins came at the perfect time, as we now have sole possession of the top spot in the Horizon League. After a three game out of conference set with Marshall this weekend, we will shift our focus to the one goal my teammates and I have been dreaming of achieving from day one another Horizon League championship.

Lastly, I'd like to give a big congratulations to the WSU softball team for winning their 3rd Horizon League Softball Championship in four years! I'm speaking for all of us in the baseball program when I say we're proud of them and wish them luck this weekend in Michigan. I hope I'm fortunate enough to win three rings at WSU, just like most of the seniors on the softball team!

I also want to give a shout out to our First Pitch Banquet speaker, Dusty Baker, and his Cincinnati Reds ball club for taking over first place in the National League Central Division.

Go Raiders!
