Baseball Team Is Tops In Fielding
The official and final NCAA baseball statistics, which were released in July, had Washington College as the statistical leader for fielding percentage in the nation among NCAA Division III schools. The Shoremen finished the season with a .9729 fielding percentage mark. This mark edged out that of local rival Salisbury State, whose own mark was an impressive .9720.
During the season the Shoremen posted totals of 633 putouts and 265 assists. These statistics were combined with only 25 errors in 29 games. The head coach for Washington College baseball, Al Streelman, was not only impressed and pleased by the outstanding fielding that the men presented, but he was also very proud of the team’s commendable academic performance.
“I am equally impressed with my team’s second semester cumulative 3.27 GPA. These kids did the job not only on the field, but in the classroom as well. I’m very proud of them in both places,” commented coach Streelman.
