The ETSU Buccaneers are back in the win column, and they've made history doing it. After a tough four-game losing streak, the Bucs stormed back with a decisive 9-5 victory over Wofford on Sunday, securing their third straight 30-win season—a feat not seen in Johnson City since the 1980-82 campaigns.
With the series-closing win, ETSU improved to 30-19 overall and 10-8 in Southern Conference play, proving that resilience is the name of the game. The offense came alive with 13 hits, led by Nate Conner and Andrew Palmer, who each collected three hits. Mason Ault drove in a team-high three runs, providing the clutch hitting that turned the tide.
On the mound, starter Cooper Jones delivered a gritty performance, earning his fourth win of the season. He allowed just two runs over 5.1 innings while striking out five, keeping the Terriers at bay long enough for the Bucs to build a comfortable lead.
This milestone 30-win season is a testament to the program's steady rise under the current coaching staff. For a team that's now eyeing postseason positioning, every win matters—and this one came with a little extra history.
Next up, the Bucs return to Thomas Stadium on Thursday to open a three-game home series against Mercer. With momentum back on their side, ETSU will look to keep the bats hot and the pitching sharp in front of the home crowd.
