**Liberty’s Inspiring Journey: From Double-Wide Trailers to NCAA Super Regionals**
In a tale that could only be described as “inspirational” if you squint hard enough, the Liberty University Flames have gone from the humble beginnings of double-wide trailers to the NCAA Super Regionals, proving that even a trailer park can produce champions—if you ignore the occasional raccoon raid.
The Flames, who once practiced in a field behind a local Waffle House, have risen to prominence in the world of college baseball. Coach Buck “The Trailer” Thompson, who famously said, “If you can hit a raccoon with a baseball, you can hit anything,” has led the team to unprecedented heights. “We used to have to dodge potholes and stray dogs just to get to practice,” he added, wiping a tear from his eye. “Now we dodge major league scouts!”
The team’s star pitcher, Billy “The Double-Wide” Johnson, credits his success to his upbringing. “Growing up in a trailer taught me resilience,” he said, while simultaneously trying to figure out how to open a can of beans with a baseball bat. “When you’ve got a family of seven living in 800 square feet, you learn to throw strikes—or at least throw your siblings out of the way.”
As the Flames prepare for the Super Regionals, the local community has rallied behind them, with a GoFundMe page set up to buy new uniforms—because apparently, “We’re just happy to be here” doesn’t cut it when you’re wearing last year’s t-shirts. Local resident and self-proclaimed sports expert, Earl “The Lawn Chair” Jenkins, stated, “I’ve seen better uniforms at the county fair. But hey, if they can win in those, they can win anywhere!”
As Liberty heads into the Super Regionals, one thing is clear: they may have started in double-wide trailers, but they’re aiming for the big leagues—one raccoon at a time.
