St. Cloud State Baseball's annual Red/Black Fall World Series came to an end last week as Rob "Doc" Swendra and Team Red earned a 4-1 series win.
"The Fall Red/Black World Series is a great time for the coaching staff to see what our players can do," said Swendra, "It gives us the opportunity to evaluate each player in a game situation – especially with the new Huskies – and this fall the team did not disappoint. Every game was played well and was very competitive."
