Former Head Baseball Coach Larry Hays
FROM CBB NEWS SOURCE
On a typical March evening in West Texas, Texas Tech and Lubbock Christian University paid tribute to a man who was anything but.
An individual who single-handedly defined college baseball in the city of Lubbock for over 30 years took his rightful place in both school’s athletics lore.

I have confirmed through various sources that UMass-Amherst will likely cut the baseball program at the end of the year. The other UMass schools in Lowell, Dartmouth, and Boston are currently safe though but that could change.
UMass will join Northern Iowa and Vermont to recently announce that they are dropping the sport. The only New England public universities that will sponsor the sport are Maine, UConn, and Rhode Island after this year. New Hampshire dropped baseball back in 1997 while Vermont is dropping the sport after this season.
What do you think of the future of College Baseball especially in the Northeast?
