WWU Give Day 2022

After two cancelled seasons and many days away from the ballpark, the Vikings finally returned to the field in 2022! We look for donations to help the 2023 ballclub return to national prominence!

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 and 2020-2021 Season Cancellations Due to Covid-19

Due to these difficult times Westerns club baseball teams two most recent seasons, like nearly all others across the United States, were cancelled before they even began. Back in March of 2020. 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 the 2020-2021 regular season began, the season was cancelled as the travel ban and stay at home orders were put in place. 

This was extremely tough on all of our players, but especially for those juniors and 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 missed the sport tremendously, we were happy that many of our players were back home, safe, and with their families amongst this extremely tough time. Now that it is safe enough to return, we are  greatly looking forward to stepping onto the field again with our teammates and brothers.
