91±¬ÁÏÍø Baseball Picked Fourth in TranSouth Preseason Poll

JACKSON, Tenn. - 11/29/2007 - The 91±¬ÁÏÍø baseball has been selected by the TranSouth coaches to finish fourth in the TranSouth Preseason Baseball Poll. 91±¬ÁÏÍø comes off an injury-plagued season in which they placed seventh in last year's regular season.

91±¬ÁÏÍø graduated eight players from last year’s team, including three starters on the infield and one starting pitcher. However, 91±¬ÁÏÍø head coach Brent Fronabarger has five returning starters on defense, and three starting pitchers to help put 91±¬ÁÏÍø back at the top of the TranSouth Conference.

In fact, three of the top five hitters from 2007 are returning, including the leading hitter, Judson Powers. Powers, the former Humboldt High School standout hit .375 with 12 doubles, eight homeruns, and 55 RBI last season.

91±¬ÁÏÍø also returns their top three pitchers last year according to ERA. Powers, James Brasfield (Humboldt HS), and Greg Abram combined for 15 of 91±¬ÁÏÍø 33 wins last season.

91±¬ÁÏÍø opens the 2008 season at Fesmire Field, the home field for the 91±¬ÁÏÍø Bulldogs, on Friday, February 8 versus Georgetown College (Ky.).
