Change of Plans for this weekend

Image
You can use two fingers to spread the freshly adjusted schedule. The Golden Bears 🐻 are trading out a Saturday and Sunday four game set down in North Carolina (St.Andrews) for a 3 game series on Friday and Saturday in Bluefield. Mother Nature plays a large role in February Baseball ⚾️. The team will make a trip down to St.Andrews later in the season. A couple of others changes have been made as well.

Next stop for our Golden Bears 🐻 is St.Andrews

Image
The middle of the three consecutive weekend trips South will carry West Virginia Tech across two state lines to Laurinburg, North Carolina. Four games in two days as long as the weather cooperates. St.Andrews is a fellow NAIA baseball program and over the next few days we will try and get you ready for the trek.

The Clash of the Conferences 2022-2023

Image
10 College Baseball ⚾️ games were played over two days across two of the Tri-Cities this past weekend and the host Milligan Buffaloes struck Gold, going four for four against teams from Regional Conferences. Skyler Barnett and his Milligan Nine host the annual event with 6 teams from four leagues competing. Barnett was a very gracious Host and has a high octane team, especially at the plate. The event is designed for each team to play 3 games over the weekend but WVU-T and Milligan took advantage of the weather and played a fourth game after everyone was done with three each. The standings from the event prior to the bonus game between Milligan and WVU-T... Milligan 3-0 Lindsay Wilson 2-1 Thomas More 1-2 Rio Grande 1-2 WVU-T 1-2 Indiana - South Bend 1-2 Great event, impressive facilities and excellent Hosts! Until next year...

Unlike Ranger Smith at Jelltstone, We need to feed the (Golden) Bears 🐻

One of the Fun parts of being on the Road with the Golden Bears is trying hard to find a way to feed the team on the way back to Beckley. Tonight its the hard working 💪 crew at the Jersey Mike's Sub Shop in Abingdon, Virginia. 30 minutes before closing time and they were brave enough to try and feed our Bears 🐻
