Birmingham-Southern’s baseball team is playing on, even as the college prepares to close its doors

. The Division III Panthers, in fact, could outlast the 168-year-old private liberal arts school with a super regional win this weekend at Denison in Grandville, Ohio. The Birmingham, Alabama, school is closing its doors one week after the series opens Friday because of financial difficulties, a decision that came in March after legislation aimed at securing a taxpayer-backed loan stalled in the Alabama Statehouse.

Weisberg, a former Kentucky player and coach, has had to recruit and maintain his program against a backdrop of years-long financial struggles and recent uncertainty for the college's future. He has led the Panthers to within one victory of his 11th 30-win season and took them to a national runner-up finish in 2019. This team proved especially resilient, bouncing back from a 13-10 start even with the distractions.
