For this episode of Sidearm Delivery, Shotgun Spratling brings on a head coach who has helped his program climb the ranks from NAIA to Division II to Division I, with two years playing in the National Christian College Athletic Association mixed in. California Baptist head coach Gary Adcock joins to talk about transition and climbing the ranks, as well as to discuss his Lancers’ squad that keeps finding ways to win despite suffering injury after significant injury.

Later in the show, we also chat with D1Baseball national analyst Eric Sorensen about CBU, their climb to the Division I level, and their conference standing in the final season of the WAC.
