Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball ⚾️ team has to stick a 📌 in our trip over to Davis and Elkins College today as the Home team needs to make up Conference games.

  The routine for our Golden Bears 🐻 is to play on Tuesday each week, ahead of a 3 game weekend series on Friday – Saturday or Saturday – Sunday.

  This week was set to be a special trek as D & E is where Skipper Lawrence Nesselrodt played his collegiate Baseball ⚾️ and do so well enough to make his way into their Hall of Fame a few years back.

The game today was relevant today for another reason as River States Conference league leading Oakland City is heading to Beckley for a series starting on Friday afternoon at 3pm.

The team will look to build on the momentum of taking 2 of 3 against Shawnee State last weekend.

Our Bears 🐻 are Golden !
