So happy to share that our turf project for the upcoming season has been completed! Working on some aerial shots but these will do just fine for now! Thanks to
@FieldsPeach
for their hard work and
@RiverCityAF
for their commitment to getting quality product.
@NAIABall
Been a busy summer at the nest, but it has been worth it.Lots of improvements that continue to enhance the brand we are building. This facility is now one of the best natural surfaces and fields in the NAIA. We know we are building each year towards something special!
@RU_Eagles
People hit the panic button on small college baseball bc we don’t have 500 plus kids drafted at this level. The draft has changed along with the analytics, I would suggest on embracing an opportunity to have an experience that can change your life. Its not d1 or bust..
#mlbdraft
We are biased but we feel like we have one of the best surfaces and facilities in the NAIA, hard to beat this side view at night in November.
@RU_Eagles
Food for thought.. 1) Go where you are wanted! 2) If you are at an NCAA school, released by an NCAA school you probably aren’t going to a power five! 3) Please give kids fair and REAL evaluations 4) Be honest, COMMUNICATE 5) the NAIA is pretty good fellas, do your homework.
Being first feels good
@RU_Eagles
Congrats to all of our alumni as well who helped us reach this goal. Your work and commitment to the program helped us do this.

@NAIABall
Thankful for what we have built and for what we are building towards. Extensions of the basepaths have been completed to the outfield grass by
@FieldsPeach
@RiverCityAF
Now on to phase two after fall practice is completed!
@RU_Eagles
Did it rain today? “Yes”
Is that real grass or turf? “Real grass”
So thankful for the work that has been put into this facility! We can now expect to always play on our field knowing how well it drains and holds water.
@RU_Eagles
Just when you think we can’t do more we find ways to do more.. the final piece to phase 2 not completed till February but it will be worth the wait! For now let’s be thankful for the chair backs, new wall padding, improved sound system and bullpen turf.

God has blessed our program with a beautiful new lady eagle! She weighs in at 9lbs and 1 ounce. We are so excited to welcome Kenzie Leigh Burton into this world and into the
@RU_Eagles
family.
@RUBaseballAAC
The wins and losses for this season have been decided long before the first pitch,based on our commitment to the TEAM and our process.Yes opening day is today, but this day started for us a long time ago as we fell short in 2021. Excited to see what 2022 has for us!
#bookit
Small college baseball requires family support, and we will always embrace that. We measure growth by wins and losses, but at the end of the day our growth will be determined by how we develop these young men. 2023 is going to be a lot of fun.
@RU_Eagles
So proud of how far we have come in a short calendar year. As we begin phase 2 this summer, expect to see more improvements to our facility that will help us grow towards hosting future NAIA Opening Rounds. Our team is growing, just like our vision.
#RUcommitted
Busy weekend as we get ready to play some baseball against someone else. Friday 3:00 vs
@GHCBaseball
Saturday 1:00 vs
@ChattStTigersBB
. All games at Ken White Field.
#linkup
Our last fall DH is tomorrow at 3:00 vs Columbia state. We will live stream again, as we attempt to run audio through our new camera system. Huge thanks to our own
@hunterpaulsen3
with the shot today. And yes this is only the first half of the rye grass
@RU_Eagles
Not prepared to send our players home in March, but that is where we are. We are preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. If our season can’t resume we are confident that the
@NAIA
will get this right and give back a year of eligibility to these special young men.
As we close the 2021 season with exit meetings and inventory, I am reminded about how fortunate we all are to even get this season completed. It didn’t end how we had hoped but it has prepared us for a great run in 2022! Looking forward to what lies ahead
@RU_Eagles
#bookit
Good group of young men here, sorry we fell short. We will use this as motivation to get better moving forward. Thank you seniors, we appreciate each of you!

@PBRGeorgia
Coach you get one chance at
@RUBaseballAAC
. If that happens here a cleanup bill is sent to PG and that team is banned from playing here. Fortunately every team we have had this summer has been great. Leaving it better than you found it MATTERS!
We have crossed home
@RU_Eagles
and have one more surprise that will change our Gameday production. Maybe our good friends
@AWRE_Sports
can help spill the beans for us.
@SST_Baseball
will have some awesome clips to work on. The alternative looks pretty good..
#lewiston
Back against the wall, and the boys respond with a huge road sweep to end the regular season and clinch second place in our league. Now tourney time…
#bookit
Heck of a sweep for our team against an outstanding opponent. Excited for the opportunities ahead as we get ready for more quality baseball and quality programs next week.
#daybyday
Proud to support our brothers
@RUEaglesFB
tonight in Montgomery as they beat a tough and scrappy Faulkner football team. All wins count the same but winning that first one is always a great feeling. On to the next boys!

@RU_Eagles
Beginning the day with staff meetings, and ending it with lunch and a viewing of
@TopGunMovie
. We are excited for the guys to be back and are preparing for a great 2023 season!
2 1/2 days since our season was flipped upside down has felt like 2 1/2 years. It literally feels like time is standing still,and it’s the pain only an athlete and coach can understand.We know this is serious and things happen beyond our control,still doesn’t make this any easier
When the sun rises we will have more words, but for now we want to thank everyone who has supported us throughout this season. Ten teams are moving on at the completion of tomorrow, unfortunately we were one of the ten whose season ended tonight in the opening round championship.
As one door closes another one opens for
@TimmieRedford
. We are sorry to see him go, but are so excited for him as he takes the reigns of his HS alma mater. Tim we love you and will be following your success
@RU_Eagles
What an honor for our boy
@ProfitJacob
helping his team win the
@SunbeltBaseball
championship while earning the championship series MVP. We are excited to continue to see your growth in our program and are blessed to have you as an eagle!
@RU_Eagles
Merry Christmas to all of our players, alumni and fans. We hope you have a blessed day as we all celebrate the most important thing. The gift of life with family and friends. Jesus is the reason.
Beautiful day for our prospect showcase. 85 HS kids from all classes and states got a chance to see our beautiful facility. Hats off to
@JeffMoyer41
for putting together a great showcase. Day two tomorrow, with another set of 85 kids!
Postseason baseball is simply about just finding ways to win and advance. It doesn’t matter how it just matters that you did. Big 10th inning by our guys tonight and outstanding pitching leads to a day one win. Excited for our opportunity tomorrow!
Our home series this weekend has officially been altered, as we are now heading south to play a three game series
@SEUFireBaseball
beginning Thursday and ending Saturday with one nine inning each day.
