Baseball Picked Ninth In MIAA Preseason Coaches Poll

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Truman Baseball team was selected ninth in the MIAA Preseason Baseball Coaches poll released by the conference office on Thursday. The Bulldogs will open up the 2012 season with a four-game weekend series against Missouri S&T on Feb. 25-26 in Rolla.

The Bulldogs, under the direction of sixth year head coach Dan Davis, finished last season with a school record 16 conference wins and had five players earn all-conference honors. Three of those players, pitchers Jarrett Eiskina, Ryan Trimble and catcher Devon Myers will return to the diamond.

The Truman pitching staff set a school record with 273 strikeouts last season and had several lows of over 10-plus years in runs allowed, walks allowed, home runs and opponent batting average.

Following the opening weekend at Rolla, Truman will play 40 of their next 46 games in the MIAA and will open the home season on March 9-11 when they take on defending co-conference champion and the coaches pick to repeat, the University of Central Missouri.
