Strong start for Wofford baseball a sign of the times

The temperature may have dipped into the low thirties; the biting winds may have brought shuddering effects. For a select few, though, that braved the elements at Russell C. King Field for Wofford baseball's season-opening weekend slate, there was a decided hint of assurance that this program is back in full force.

Bulldogs End Wofford's Season

Alec Paradowski leads off for the Terriers in the first inning.

A sloppy outing late in the game contributed to a 12-3 loss to the Samford Bulldogs, which effectively ended the Terriers' season.

Baseball Preview: Samford

Man, it seems like we play Samford a lot. Actually, four out of our last six games were against the Bulldogs. We split those four evenly with Samford, our pair of wins coming in the form of a regular-season concluding doubleheader sweep.

Looking at last night's victory again, I am still struck by two things: the success of our pitching staff, and the Terriers' never-give-up attitude when it seemed all hope was lost.

Terriers Stay Alive

Wofford starter Connell Anderson warms up.

I didn't want this to be a farewell post. Farewell, that is, to the Terriers' 2014 baseball campaign. It was turning into quite the thing of beauty: strong pitching, an impressive record, and the will to survive in the SoCon Tournament.

Thanks to only the Terriers themselves, this is absolutely not a farewell post.
