From Nacogdoches to Busch Stadium, the @Cardinals and SFA’s club baseball team have captured the attention of the sports world. ⚾️🪓

What started as a group of Lumberjacks cheering on the Cardinals during their trip to Illinois for the Club Baseball World Series turned into a viral moment seen across the country, with fans, players and national media embracing the energy and spirit of SFA.
