Two of the four teams will head to Chillicothe, Ohio in the first week of May.

Ernie Banks was famous for saying ” It’s a great day for baseball, Let’s Play 2 !”

Today, our Skipper, Lawrence Nesselrodt will tweak it a bit by saying – ” It’s a great day to be a Golden Bear 🐻, Let’s win 2!

Monday was the final two games in the Baseball Bonanza hosted by our West Virginia Tech University Golden Bears 🐻.

Our goal through this process is to prove that WVU-T and Linda K Epling Stadium can and should be a major player in the World 🌎 of NAIA Baseball. Mission Accomplished by everything that I witnessed !

Fisher College Falcons and our Golden Bears 🐻 split the getaway twin bill. Fisher captured the opener 7-1 and Tech responded by taking the seventh and final game by a score of 11-5.

Final numbers :

Georgia Gwinnett 3-1

WVU-Tech.             3-2

Fisher College       1 -4

The crowd Sunday afternoon was by far the largest of the season, by a wide margin. Our Golden Bears 🐻 highlight came in the ending of a 15 game winning streak that belonged to #2 GGC.

We staged a seven game in two plus days NAIA showcase and it benefited the Schools 🏫 involved as well as the City of Beckley, West Virginia.

   West Virginia Tech University Baseball will travel to Owensboro, Kentucky this weekend for a playoff like three game set with Brescia University. Sweep the series and the Golden Bears 🐻 will pull into a tie for fifth place.

  The top four spots are all but secured with an epic series taking place this weekend between the two teams that have distanced themselves from the pack.

The final weekend series has IU Southeast coming to Beckley, making the set with Brescia University even more important. Winning two out of three in Owensboro will keep the goal of postseason play alive while a sweep would be Awesome.

Midway Eagles closes out with IU Columbus and Brescia, leaving a window of opportunity for WVU-T to secure a tournament invite.

WVU-T continues its non-conference Baseball ⚾️ fest with a doubleheader in Beckley today versus Fisher College.
