WWU Give Day 2020

With the 2019-2020 season cancelled, we look for donations to help make the 2020-2021 season one to remember!

Give Day Contributions

Every athlete dreams of being able to play the sport they love for as long as possible, and this team represents an opportunity for its members to continue this dream. However, with a highly competitive travel program comes heavy costs that fall on the shoulders of the student athletes. Donations significantly decrease the financial burden that comes with the team participating in the National Club Baseball Association. These funds will help cover travel expenses, facility rentals and equipment purchases for future members of our organization. Every penny counts! Our athletes are very appreciative to have the ability to continue to play, and are even more appreciative of donations to our program!

2019-2020 Season Cancellation Due to Covid-19

Due to these difficult times Westerns club baseball teams season, like nearly all others across the United States, was cancelled before it even began. We were fortunate enough to compete in pre-season series against the University of Washington, Green River Community College, and Grays Harbor College. However the day before regular season began, the season was cancelled as the travel ban and stay at home orders were put in place. 

This has been extremely tough on all of our players, but especially to those seniors who were unaware that they had played their last collegiate baseball game and possibly last baseball game of their life. Like many teams across the nation, we were left to question what could've been with the spring season that we were so much looking forward too. For many of us who have had baseball be such an influential aspect in our lives, the lack of the sport leaves a void for a remarkable team. Although we may miss the sport tremendously, we are happy that many of our players are back home, safe, and with their families amongst this extremely tough time. Once this is over, whenever that will be, those who are fortunate enough to get to return for another season are greatly looking forward to stepping onto the field again with our teammates and brothers.
