Emporia State University baseball coach Bob Fornelli indicated to members of our Rotary Club that pitching is a strength of his ball club. ESU was picked to finish second overall in the MIAA this season after Missouri Southern. Fornelli stresses that his ball players finish their college degrees while at ESU since being successful playing professional baseball is so rare. In the college level, however, Fornelli's and ESU's teams are successful. In fact, after speaking at our club meeting, Fornelli won his 800th career win and 494th ESU win against Kansas Newman. This success occurs in spite of providing only 5.2 scholarships for the whole baseball team.
