Congratulations to Dustin Ward on being drafted by the Baltimore Orioles! He earned it after his performance over the last couple of months this season. If he goes this year, he will definitely be missed.

He will be missed if he does end up signing with them. He was outstanding for us this past year, that's for sure, especially in SLC play. And what a great young man as well!




He was 1 of 25 SLC players to be picked overall to speak to the strength of our league...

A total of 11 schools accounted for this year's total. Among those selected Wednesday, include two players from Texas State, two from Lamar and one each from McNeese State, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Southeastern Louisiana, UT Arlington and UTSA...

...Of the Southland's 25 selections, 12 were juniors and accounted for 11 of the conference's first 12 selections. The signing deadline is Aug. 15...

An update, and I think there will be more information coming out about this at some point, but Dustin has signed with Baltimore and he is no longer a UCA Bear! Best of luck to Dustin, without a doubt!
