2024-07-22

From July 10 to 16, 2024, the 2024 Hunan College Student Baseball and Softball Championship and the MLB University Open - Hunan were held in Changsha. The event was jointly hosted by the Students Sports Association of Hunan and the Hunan Baseball and Softball Association, attracting 18 teams from 8 universities, including Central South University, Hunan University, Hunan Normal University, and HUTB, with over 200 student-athletes participating.

The university's baseball and softball teams sent over 50 athletes to compete in all three events: men's baseball, women's softball, and slow-pitch softball.

In the women's softball event, the HUTB women's softball team achieved a decisive victory over Hunan Normal University, narrowly defeated Hunan Sports Vocational College, and narrowly lost to Central South University, ultimately securing the runner-up position and setting the best historical result for the event. Additionally, in the slow-pitch softball event, the university placed fourth, and in the men's baseball event, we placed sixth.

Established in April 2023, the university's baseball and softball teams are very young. The core members of the teams are all second-year students, and they have been training in baseball and softball for just over a year. This achievement is the best testament to their hard work and dedication. (Reported by School of Physical Education and Health)
