West Virginia Tech University Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball ⚾️ finished up strong but came up just short in the pursuit of Brescia University for the sixth and final spot in the River States Conference post season.

The team was looking to make a second straight trip to Chillicothe, Ohio but suffered back to back heartbreaking 💔 loses to #2 Indiana University – Southeast on the final day.

The team finished up the season by going 10-10 after being swept up in Kokomo, dropping them to 9-16 on the campaign. The stretch included eight contests against ranked teams, including a two game split with #2 in the Nation, Georgia Gwinnett College.

Play Ball !

Down 6-5, top of 9th inning (1:39)

Two of the three teams shown above will claim the final two spots in the RSC post season Baseball ⚾️ tournament.

Brescia University and Midway play a Saturday doubleheader and then a single game on Sunday.

WVU-T closes out the year with a twin bill versus #2 seed Indiana University – SE here in Beckley. Our Golden Bears 🐻 stayed alive with a thrilling 10th inning walkoff 7-6 victory on Friday that took six hours to play after a lengthy weather delay.

We hold the tiebreaker with Brescia but do not with Midway so we are BIG Midway fans this weekend !

10 young Men will play their final game at Tech tomorrow unless we can work some more magic !
