Briggs: Something magical is happening with Bowling Green State University baseball

BOWLING GREEN — Behold, the boys who put the lumber in Wood County.

It might be too early to call the big-hitting, born-again Bowling Green State University baseball team the Miracle on Mercer Road.

It might not be.

I visited campus Saturday to see one of the best stories in college sports for myself.

Four years after the school eliminated baseball to cut costs during the pandemic — only for hundreds of alums to stage a ninth-inning rally and crowdfund the program back to life — look at the Falcons now.

They’re not just hanging on.
