Baseball Western Maryland College baseball brought excitment to "the hill" as the 13-8 Terrors had their best year in several years. Behind the bats of co- captains Kevin Zawacki (.291) and Andy Weber (.290), Dennis Hanratty (.383) and freshman MVP Brian Bain (.463), the Terrors surged to second place place in the southeastern divi- sion of the MAC. It was a year that boasted such freshmen standouts such as Bain, John Leibel, and pitchers Dave Lesch (3-3) and Mike Gosnell who won the pitching MVP by going 5-1 with a 2.27 E.R.A. It was pitching like this that led sophomore Bruce Frick to a 4-1 mark while Lesch led the staff in strikeouts. Along with great speed and defense and a strong bullpen hosting Leon Brooke, the Ter- rors swept four double headers in- cluding the final two against rival Johns Hopkins.
