BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green State University's baseball program was featured on the FS1 pregame show prior to Saturday's MLB game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.

BGSU hall of famer Orel Hershiser, athletic director Derek van der Merwe, baseball coach Kyle Hallock, and shortstop Tyler Ross were interviewed. The story focused on Hershiser and the program being revived after it was briefly eliminated in 2020.

Watch it here:

"Without Bowling Green, there probably is no Orel Hershiser."

In May of 2020 when @BGSU_Baseball was cut due to budget restrictions, a group of alumni led by Mr. Hershiser himself rallied together to save the program pic.twitter.com/yweywvIAMi
