Decided to swing by Hawley Field this evening…it’s SO striking how far @WVUBaseball has come. Just insane. This was our home ballpark just over a decade ago.
I think it needs to be heard that(according to sources) West Virginia baseball cut one of their best pitchers early in the season because he was bashing the coaching staff(not bought in). Now they are headed to Omaha to play in the CWS.
"....to a place I belong" @WVUBaseball punches the first ticket to Omaha! We look forward to new fans and new faces and raising money to fight food insecurity in Morgantown! We've heard the Mountaineers and @PatMcAfeeShow know how to party. We'll find out next week! #roadtoRoccos
So to recap:
~Country Roads sweeps the nation after walk off Regional WIN by @WVUBaseball
~WVU commit @BigELawson releases one of the most viral announcement videos in history
~WVU declares the time has come to retire the number of the GOAT, @coachpatwhite’s Number 5
~In front of @PatMcAfeeShow, @RealCoachRod, Prez @MichaelTBenson and several thousand friends, WVU wins first game ever as a Super Regional host!
Just another week in Morgantown!
You’re a 21-year-old college pitcher.
You just flew across the country, step on the mound, and 4,000 of the loudest, most rabid fans in college sports are already in full lather — losing their minds. Behind them? An entire ridge packed with pepperoni-roll-stuffed maniacs at full throat.
And every time the ball leaves your hand @PatMcAfeeShow and the misfit-toys of the WVU football are sitting front row behind the plate - staring straight back at you.
Welcome to Morgantown. ⚾🔥
