1991 Miracle Yearbook

Sliding In Safe Baseball A "rebuilding season" was the way Tom Sizer,this year's assistant coach and next year's head coach, described this year's season. Last year Cedarville captured the Mid- Ohio Conference baseball ti- tle, but five team starters graduated, leaving a rather young team to take over. This year only three players, Todd Clemens, Jeff Kendra and John Yoder, will graduate. Clemens,who had a.392 bat- ting average,and Yoder, with a .360 batting average, were both outstanding players.The season ended with an overall record of 7-24. At the end of the season the team made a comeback from a losing streak to win a doubleheader against Central State. Dan Ambrose, a sopho- more, was the first player in Cedarville history to be named the national NAIA hit- ter of the week. Catcher John Yoder earned a place on the first team in the MOC with Todd Clemens as honorable mention. Yoder also won MVP honors and he made All-NCCAA District III team with Clemens and Ambrose joining him as honorable mentions. All three players: Ambrose,Clemens and Yoder made honorable mention on the All-NAIA District 22 team. The coaches award for the team went to Rusty Rus- sell, and Todd Seljan had the team's lowest ERA. Next year's team includes only one senior, so according to Coach Sizer, the "rebuilding" will continue. 134 Sports
