Briggs: BG baseball hopes to turn a good story into a magical one

BOWLING GREEN — When Bowling Green State University cut its baseball program last month, its ace recruiter jumped into action.

Kyle Hallock became the busiest salesman since the ShamWow guy.

For one, the 31-year-old Falcons assistant had a house to unload. He and his wife, Morgan, immediately listed their four-bedroom ranch in Findlay.

For another, Hallock had a roster of heartbroken players suddenly looking for a new school. He spent his days calling every college coach he knew.

“We were selling our guys hard,” he said.

It was only mid-sale — as an alumni-led fundraiser to save Bowling Green baseball gathered serious steam — that it began to hit him.
