1983 Miracle Yearbook

SPORTS Men's Baseball Injuries and inexperience stifled the base- ball team's record. This was not a banner year for baseball at Cedarville Col- lege. Mark Mathews, who played varsity baseball at Cedar- ville for four years, took over as coach this year. The 9-19-1 record was less than flattering, but it may be traced at least in part to an inexperienced team and extensive injuries. In spite of the discouraging record,there were several excellent indi- vidual performances.Steve Pinkley committed only one error in the season to give him a fielding percentage of.983,and he stole 18 bases on 20 tries to give him a two year total of 44 stolen bases out of 46 attempts.. Jim Schreiner went from shortstop to pitcher and finished with a 3-0 record in four appearances. Greg Clemons, with a percentage of .450, led the team in batting averages. With more experience and fewer injuries next year, the season promises to be more successful. This Page, Above: The team congratulates Steve Pinkley as he scores.
