Wright State baseball coach Alex Sogard had a dilemma over what to do with his team’s Horizon League bye last weekend.

With the conference tourney just days away and having become concerned about his players losing their competitive edge, Sogard said bye-bye to the bye and lined up three home games with Division II power Charleston (W. Va.).

“We wanted a Division I team. We were in contact with a few, but it was tough. Nobody really wanted to play us,” he said.

“We were fortunate to get them. They’re probably as good as a lot of teams in our league. We got to see some realty good arms.”

The visitors may have had some solid pitching, but the Raiders grinded them up just like every other foe of late, sweeping the series by lopsided scores.
