Winston-Salem State University baseball fighting to survive after cut from university budget - Fox8

The Winston-Salem State University cut the baseball team amid budget cuts in university athletics, according to the GoFundMe. Now, the team is trying to raise $350,000 to save WSSU baseball — and to build a ballpark and athletic field that could help sustain the team going forward. The “Save Winston-Salem State University baseball” fundraiser page lists its creator as Kevin Ritsche, head baseball coach at Winston-Salem State University. Ritsche wrote, “A large reason Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) was forced to cut their championship caliber baseball program was due to financial debt incurred by not having their own baseball field and having to lease fields off campus.” https://myfox8.com/2019/03/29/winston-salem-state-university-baseball-fighting-to-survive-after-cut-from-university-budget/
