The end of the remarkable postseason journey for the Birmingham-Southern baseball team came in a heartbreaking 11-10 loss to Wisconsin-Whitewater in an elimination game in the Division III College World Series. Despite shutting down just days before due to financial troubles, head coach Jay Weisberg expressed gratitude for the incredible season his players had given him and found joy in coaching them.
The Panthers had a commanding 10-5 lead through six innings, but their offense stalled, and they lost the game. Weisberg encouraged his players to play freely and leave everything on the field, reflecting on the impact of Birmingham-Southern and speaking passionately about the beauty of its campus.
Following the loss, the players showed their appreciation to fans by tipping their caps along the third base line before exiting hand in hand. Despite heartbreak, their journey and impact were recognized as something truly special.
