WSSU Rams add two more CIAA titles

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State's athletics motto of "Return to Glory" might need an overhaul after all the winning it has done this season.

The Rams' baseball and softball teams each completed CIAA championship runs Saturday in Ettrick, Virginia. The baseball team beat Chowan 6-1 in the championship game for its second straight CIAA title. The softball team had to work extra by beating Virginia State 1-0 and 3-0 in the double-elimination tournament to also win its second straight CIAA title.

For Dominique Fitzgerald, an outfielder with the baseball team, it was his third CIAA title. He was also a star wide receiver for the CIAA championship football team in the fall.

"This means a lot because we were expected to win this time around and we took care of business by winning three straight games," Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgerald had a bases-clearing double in the eighth inning to make the final 6-1.
