After Towson baseball’s 5-2 win at George Washington March 10, the Tigers were about to go through the typical postgame routine of getting on the team bus, finding a place to eat and heading back to campus.
But like every college team around the country, Towson was about to go through the start of a week that wasn’t typical at all. On March 11, the NCAA announced that its annual men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments would be played without fans due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The next day, NCAA president Mark Emmert canceled the tournaments as well as all spring sports championships. Conferences and individual schools also took initiative, cancelling seasons and offseason activities.
For Towson, that storm started on the team bus after the March 10 game. The Tigers were supposed to host Binghamton for a four-game series starting March 13, then head to Hawaii the next week for their spring break trip.
