  • 14 >>' Western Carolinian July 13,1995 Sports Cats 1995 Baseball in Review by Tony Caslteberry StaffReporter All good things must come to an end. For the first time since 1984, the Catamounts were not on the field for the Southern Conference championship game. They were eliminated by East Tennessee State 6-1. The Cats finished third in the regular season standing with a 13-11 record. This ended a streak of 11 consecutive seasons in which WCU finished either first or second in the conference. However, there were a few bright spots for Western baseball. The team posted 32 wins, the sixth straight season WCU has produced at least 30 wins. Center fielder Jody Henson had a superb season with a .401 batting average, .461 on-base percentage, and 25 stolen bases, all are team highs. Senior Eric Whitson turned in another solid year at third base for the Cats. He batted .377 with eight home- runs, 36 funs batted in, and 17 stolen bases. Whitson was named to the Southern Conference all-tournament team after collecting eight hits in four games and playing spectacular defense. First baseman Alex Tolbert provided power at the plate for WCU. Tolbert smashed 20 home-runs and posted 55 runs batted in, both team highs, while batting .296. The Catamount pitching staff struggled at times but got solid performance from Clark Maxwell, Mark DeFelice, and Chris Waters. Maxwell went 8-6 in 17 starts. He led the team in strike-outs with 124 and his 3.43 earned run average was the lowest among Catamount hurlers. DiFelice posted a 7-2 record despite a high 4.74 earned run average. Keith LeClair, who guided WCU to two conference tournament championships and two regular season titles in his first three years as head coach, was unhappy with his team's execution but satisfied with the Catamount's efforts. "We completed but didn't execute well enough or handle adversity," he explained. As for next year, the Catamounts will lose their top two hitters- Henson and Whitson -but will have ten position players returning who played in at least 30 games this season as well as six pitchers returning who combined for 25 of the 32 wins. LeClair is hopeful that this young team will learn from their mistakes and provide a solid base for next season. "By this program's standards, this has not been a good season. Our younger players have learned a lot and, hopefully, will build on it. I get excited about next year when I think about how many good young players we have coming back along with a solid recruiting class," said LeClair. Who cares about Nomo? We've got Bardo!
