Gopher Baseball enters the final Big Ten Baseball weekend in the driver's seat for their first Big Ten Regular Season Title since 2010, but they do it with heavy hearts. Pitching Coach, Todd Oakes ("T.O.") has been battling acute myeloid leukemia for four years and was very recently put into hospice.
Sad news for the Gopher Baseball family as they have to simultaneously deal with the pending loss of one of their own at the same time they are playing a crucial baseball series that could secure a Big Ten Championship. A very strange week of emotions for these young men, I am sure.
