Weisman, Hill Take Leadership Roles

Wayne State University head baseball coach Jay Alexander has announced the Warriors team captains for the 2006-07 baseball season. They are seniors Jon Weisman and Kyle Hill, and junior Matt Cunningham. Last season, Weisman tied the WSU career mark for home runs with 25, and was named to the All-GLIAC team. Hill, a pitcher, holds a career record of 18-13 and is tied for fourth on WSU's all-time win list. Cunningham, All-GLIAC second team last season, started as catcher for 35 games last season and is a .275 career hitter. All three captains have been named to the GLIAC All-Academic team. "I believe these guys are extremely focused and because of their mental toughness they will help lead us back to the top of the GLIAC," Alexander said. Photos of the players accompany the write-up.
