Wright State has locked up baseball coach Alex Sogard through the end of the decade.
The university announced Tuesday that Sogard has agreed to a contract extension that will run through 2030.
“I want to sincerely thank Wright State University President Dr. Sue Edwards and athletic director Joylynn Brown for their continued trust and support,” Sogard said in a news release. “I’m incredibly fortunate to work with great assistant coaches and players who really make this program such a special place. I’m proud of what we’ve done to this point, but I know there is so much more for us to accomplish.”
In his seventh season at the helm, Sogard led the Raiders to a 40-21 record and their sixth-consecutive Horizon League regular season championships.
WSU also won the Horizon League Tournament for the fourth time under Sogard and two victories in the NCAA tournament.
The Raiders lost in the regional final to Louisville but not before making national headlines by eliminating No. 1 seed Vanderbilt.
