After an abrupt ending to their season last year, the Shorter baseball and softball teams returned to the diamond in spring of 2021. The baseball team’s success was driven by the returning seniors, as they found themselves in the NCAA Division II National Ranks. The grueling Gulf South Conference schedule is always a challenge, but both Shorter softball and baseball teams were able to find success in their 2021 campaigns.
