WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Coach Kevin Ritsche has no trouble finding good things to say about his Winston-Salem State baseball team.The Rams, two-time defending CIAA champions, finished the regular season at 34-9 overall and 17-1 in the CIAA after recovering from a 6-6 record, and they’ll be favored again in this weekend’s CIAA Tournament, which will start today in Petersburg, Va.
“We are better all around record-wise, statistically, and as far as depth, we have that this year,” Ritsche said.
WSSU will open the double-elimination tournament at 1 p.m. today against Chowan, and the champion will qualify automatically for the NCAA Division II regionals.
“Our one through nine (batting order) is very deep, and we actually have two guys who can come off the bench and can hit as well,” said first baseman Aaron Jones, one of the Rams top hitters.
