RELEASED: May 8, 2001

DANVILLE, KY‹ The Centre college baseball team broke the school record for wins in a season posting a 23-16 mark this spring. The Colonels have been playing baseball since 1880. The Colonels are coached by Ed Rall and Morris Stewart. The previous record was 21 wins in a season set by the 1997 team.

Coach Rall had this to say about the season. " We had a solid group of seniors who were determined and dedicated to having a great year. We only won 10 games in 2000, so this is quite a turnaround. All of our players are to be commended for the season. Their attitude was positive and refreshing and they were a joy to be around. I¹m sorry the season is over."

Centre will graduate nine seniors from the 2001 team including four-year starters Josh Moore, Chad Cadle, Dan Rall, and J.T. Kirkland. Other seniors are Mike Vickers, Phil Patterson, Shane Hartley, Alex Dunn, and Rob Lewis.
