The good news is that I safely 🙏 arrived in West Virginia head of our mid- week baseball game. The bad news is that we are in jeopardy of not getting the game played now.
During our 17 years together, Lawrence Nesselrodt and I have dealt with our fair share of postponed and canceled ball games but this season it has felt like every week.
This week is the final one of the regular season and we were set to host four games across three days. The cap to the week will be Senior Day on Saturday afternoon when IU – Southeast is in town.
We are still mathematically alive in regards to finishing in the Top Six which will earn us a trip up to Chilhowie, Ohio for the River States Conference Tournament on May 1-4.
We are 2 games behind both Midway and Brescia with three games remaining in league play. We need to catch one of the two Schools 🏫 and they are set to square off over the final weekend.
WVU-T holds the tiebreaker with Brescia but not Midway so our best hope is for Midway to sweep them. We welcome #2 IU – Southeast to town and we need to win Friday night to remain alive heading into the Saturday twin bill.
Finishing 6th gets the Golden Bears 🐻 invited to Ohio and then anything can happen.
In regards to getting a game in tomorrow, we would have to scare up an opponent who has an open date and would like to sneak in one more game.
There’s a long list of lost games from the season that would fill the bill, just not sure if there’s enough time to pull that off?
A fun count would be to see 👀 how many times we were able to play on the day and in the park scheduled before the season started.
Either way, there is still something to play for on Friday afternoon and that’s what it is all about ! Ohio or Bust !
