Photos of the Wilberforce baseball team playing at Antioch College in Yellow Springs. The Team was reactivated recently after being idle since World War Two.

The Wilberforce University baseball team won its first game of the season over the weekend.

The Wilberforce Bulldogs defeated the Vorhees University Tigers.

It was Wilberforce’s first win since before World War Two.

The university’s baseball program ended back in the 1940s but was brought back to life in 2021 thanks to the Cincinnati Reds allowing the Bulldogs to use their training facilities during the winter.

The team is playing its first official games this spring.
