WSSU baseball looks to be in good shape going forward

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Coach Kevin Ritsche of Winston-Salem State could see the expressions on the faces of his players after losing to Millersville on Sunday afternoon in the Atlantic Region playoffs in Erie, Pa.

“It wasn’t like a ‘we-are-just-glad-to-get-this-far look,’” Ritsche said. “It was more, ‘we expected to win this thing.’”

The Rams ended the best season in school history two steps short of getting to the Division II College World Series for the first time. If the Rams could have beaten Millersville, they would have set up the winner-take-all game later on Sunday afternoon against Mercyhurst.

“It’s no secret this program’s goal is to win a regional,” Ritsche said. “And we did fall short but this was different than the past losses in the regional. I think we definitely made an impression on this regional and that bodes well for the future.”
