Just two weekends to go in the 2016 NC Wesleyan baseball season and to date the Battling Bishops are in the running for the conference regular season championship. Overall they are 20-10 and 11-4 in conference games. They trail Ferrum by percentage points who stands 9-3..
This weekend the Bishops start a three game series with conference foe Piedmont who is down in the standings at 4-8. It is a real good chance the Bishops could get a sweep and put the pressure on Ferrum to stay on top in the standings. Game times are 2:30 Friday and 1pm Saturday and Sunday.
April 14th The city of Rocky Mount will be hosting the Conference USA South Spring Sports Championships which over the past few years has been in Rocky Mount. Time is running out to win the regular season top seed in the baseball tournament.
In the middle of all the pressure of winning a conference title the Wesleyan baseball players this season have join Vs Cancer Foundation in support of local children who have cancer and lose their hair. The team has set a goal of raising 7,000 dollars and to date they are at 5,800 bucks. Saturday's game several local barbers headed by the barbers at Englewood Barber Shop will be shaving the heads of many of the Wesleyan players after the Saturday game.
The team is hoping that they can raise that last 1200 needed to hit their goal.. Several players will be going all the way to shave their heads while others will get haircuts. What is making this a special afternoon 20 players from Piedmont have signed up to join in. So Saturday will be a special day at Bauer Field as game time is scheduled for 1pm. This will be a great day to watch the Bishops if you have never seen a game but most important watch the players supporting children with cancer.
