West Virginia Tech University Softball had an extremely busy 24+ hours as the Lady Golden Bears played back to back doubleheaders in Beckley, against two different conference opponents.

Today, the team hosted Midway, and the opening game lasted 10 innings. WVU-T won 6-5 when they pushed across a run in the third extra frame.

After a short break, they laced them back up and played another seven innings on a day where the temperature 🌡was in the 80’s. Four and one-half hours after they started, they completed the day by dropping a hard fought 4-2 decision.

After the conclusion of their day, some of the players jumped into their cars 🚗 and made the drive up to Linda K Epling Stadium 🏟 for the end of our second game !

Student Athletes supporting fellow Student Athletes is always neat to see 👀 but to do it after their 24 hours is over the top !

Welcome 🙏 back to Linda K Epling Stadium 🏟, where we are now inside of an hour of having our first pitch of Game 1 of today’s doubleheader with Rio Grande.

Day 2 of a series is always a bit more relaxed than Day 1 because the meeting with the visiting Head Coach has already taken place. But today, it’s Brad Warnimont, so extra time with someone of his caliber is a treat.

Here for the day and no telling where the day will take us, but happy to find out !

Stay tuned !

It’s time to start focusing on our upcoming Senior Day project. This year we have a group of six…

From Narrows, Virginia – now pitching, Aiden McGlothlin !

Final Score – Red Storm 7, Golden Bears 🐻 3. Time of game, 2 hours 39 minutes.

Once again, we matched the number of hits, just not the number of runs.

The game ended at 2:42 . Look to restart at 3:15ish.

Top of the 7th inning, and we are three outs from a W !

Sometimes, baseball ⚾️ can break your heart ❤️.

Rio Grande plated two runs in their final at bat on a one out double and held off our Golden Bears 🐻, 6-5, allowing the Red Storm to complete a three game sweep. All three games were highly competitive, but all three went the way of the visitors.

It’s time to head back to Laurel Fork 🍴.

West Virginia Tech University Baseball ⚾️ competes in a rather top-heavy River States Conference, and we head into the series today versus Rio Grande with a league mark of just 2-13.

The postseason league tournament takes place in Ohio at the end of the season, and the top six teams make the guest list.

At the top of this post, you see 👀 the lowere portion of the league standings with four weekend series left (12 games). The upside for us is that we are still in this because we have completed our version of murders row.

Rio Grande went 15 – 5 in non-conference play and is well coached. They will be looking at this weekend in the exact same manner, so we should have a great weekend of baseball ⚾️ starting at 3 pm today over at Linda K Epling Stadium 🏟.

If I had an editing staff, I could trim this down to where it would que up at the right spot, but I don’t, so it won’t. If you get past the first 15 seconds, it’s Jim Mora as only Jim Mora could be !
