Tyler Berg, Hunter Walsh and Bobby Gauvreau are three members of the Minnesota State University Mankato Baseball Team. The three continue their friendship off the field and live together near campus. Tyler – an outfielder, Hunter – an Infielder and Bobby – a pitcher, all started playing baseball at young ages. Knowing it was their calling, they each pursued college baseball and ended up Mavericks.
Tyler is 19 and studying mechanical engineering in his sophomore year. He is from Saint Michael, MN, taken by a lovely lady and loves golden retrievers.
Hunter is 21 and studying business management in his senior year. He came to Mankato from Bismark, ND and ladies, he’s single!
Last but not least, Bobby is 20 and studies sports management. He is from Marietta, GA. This good old southern boy is a sophomore who is married to the game and pitches an impressive 92-94 mph.
