Concord College wins WVIAC baseball title for first time in 40 years
Concord College clinched the West Virginia Conference crown with a 7-1 victory over Shepherd after morning 13-8 loss, led by strong pitching from Andrew Wright and timely hitting. Shepherd's Charlie Drummond blasted a 420 foot grand slam in game one, with Nate Gladwell driving in four runs across the doubleheader. The Rams fought through a late loser's bracket, but Concord maintained top seeding with an 8-6 lead before innings shifted by outages and wind.
