Coaches get released from the baseball program

Southern Utah University officials, in a move supported by the University's Board of Trustees, released baseball coaches David Eldredge and Chase Hudson from their coaching responsibilities today. Its a sad day for all of SUU baseball fans because they are losing two great guys. Coach Eldredge was a great coach and they should of let him coach the remainder of the final season at SUU. Some speculations why both coaches got fired were because of going over budget and they way they used school money.  I wish the best for both of these wonderful guys!

Bo was 4 for 4 on the day with a total of 5 RBIS.  A two-run RBI single from the Jayhawks Ka’iana Eldredge sent the game into extra innings and after an hour long rain delay the second baseman then tallied the walk-off RBI single in the eleventh to seal the 11-10 victory for the home team.The Thunderbirds will return home this weekend for a pair of games with Chicago State.
