Minium: ODU Baseball Players Took Care of their Coach, Then Took Care of Business Against Charlotte

By Harry Minium

Old Dominion University baseball coach Chris Finwood begins every day by reading his players a quotation from a famous writer or historic figure. The Monarchs often draw a life lesson, and hopefully, inspiration, from his daily reading.

However, on Sunday, when ODU hosted Charlotte in the last game of the biggest home series of the season, it was the players who gave Finwood a lesson in just how much they care about him.

Finwood's wife, Annette, passed away last month, and her memorial ceremony was Sunday, at the Norfolk Botanical Garden.
