Greyhounds Go All the Way!

The 2023 Moravian softball team began the year facing several challenges, including adjusting to a new head coach for the first time in 30 years as Josh Baltz ’08 took over guiding the Greyhounds with a roster that had 18 freshmen and sophomores among 23 total players. But Baltz and his players let nothing stop them from getting to the national championships.

The Blue & Grey ran through the Landmark Conference regular season to a 10–2 mark, earning top seed and the right to host the 2023 Landmark Conference Tournament at Blue & Grey Field for the ninth time. Home fans cheered as their Greyhounds took the Landmark Conference Championship—the 10th for the Greyhounds in 15 Landmark Conference Tournaments since the start of the conference in 2008 and the 18th conference title since 2000.

After next winning the regional championship—their sixth—the Greyhounds headed north to the Cambridge (Massachusetts) Super Regional, hosted by MIT on May 26–27. In the final contest, the Blue & Grey posted an 8–0, five-inning victory for the first Super Regional title in program history and a berth in the national championship finals in Texas.

At nationals, the Greyhounds were the only nonranked team among the final eight schools and stunned the crowds by defeating top-ranked Salisbury University, 4–1, on the first day of the tournament. Moravian finished the tournament tied for fifth, capping off a season with a 38–12 record, and ranked sixth in the final 2023 National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division III Top 25 Poll.
