Baseball Inks JUCO Pair
4/25/2002
Marshall University baseball coach Dave Piepenbrink announced today the signing of a pair of Maryland Junior College Players for the 2003 season.
Corie O?Bryan (5-11, 215) is a third baseman at Frederick Community College in Frederick, Md. He is currently hitting .443 this spring with five home runs, 12 doubles and 38 runs batted in. His team has played 23 games thus far this season.
?Corie is a hard-worker and a good player,? Piepenbrink said. ?He was a first team All-Maryland Junior College player last year, and should be again this year. He will hit in the middle of the order and drive in some runs. I spoke with several of the other coaches in their league and he is the one player they all said they would like to have.?
Also signing with the Herd out of the Maryland Junior College league was Scott Henning (6-2, 215), a left-handed pitcher and outfielder at Cecil County Community College. So far this season in 38 games he is hitting .449 with four home runs, 11 doubles and 48 RBI. On the mound he has posted a 4-0 record that includes a no-hitter. He has struck out 23 hitters in just 26 innings of work.
?Scott will give us another left-handed hitter to balance our lineup,? Piepenbrink said. ?He was second team All-Conference as a freshman. He will really fill a need for us. He is a hard-worker and is a kid that hates to lose.
?We are losing a lot in the outfield this year and he can fill a starting role there and be a spot pitcher for us.?
