Awesome read to gain some context of North Alabama Baseball. The future is now and the momentum is real. #RoarLions

Wrote a few things about @UNABaseball ahead of the fall slate and how the investments and vision from @UNAAthletics have positioned @CoachPRAChniak and his program for success both on and off the field of play.
Really excited to watch this program continue to grow into a beast of a baseball program. Always fun to see athletic departments investing in baseball.

🚨Sources say @UNABaseball head coach Jad Prachniak has signed a contract extension through 2030.
The extension includes an option for Prachniak in 2031 if UNA has a winning UAC record in any one season of the term, stair step additions to the staff salary pool over each of the next four seasons and additional incentives for classroom and competitive performance.
The two-year extension to his current deal comes on the heels of a 31-28 season and a share of the ASUN Gold Division regular season title.

Thoughts and prayers to Coach Hannah's family and friends. I am grateful for your influence on me and so many others in the baseball community.
We are saddened by the passing of ABCA Hall of Famer, past ABCA President, and longtime Board Member Bob Hannah.
The longest-tenured member in ABCA history, Hannah held 64 consecutive years of membership dating back to 1962. He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy as one of the winningest coaches in collegiate baseball history, leading the University of Delaware to more than 1,000 victories, 12 NCAA Regional appearances, and the program’s only College World Series appearance in 1970.
Hannah's impact on the game extended far beyond the field through his decades of service to the ABCA, including his role as President in 1988 and continued leadership within the Association.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, former players, and the entire University of Delaware baseball community.
