Baseball

Despite the loss of four key components to graduation, the Golden Tornadoes will reload with several key returning stars to the 2010 line-up including the likes of Justin McGurgan, Joe Jurinko, Phil Shallenberger and Jon Jurinko, all of which finished the 2008 season with batting averages well over the .300 mark.

Geneva's 2009 baseball season ended with its third consecutive trip to the NCCAA national tournament. The Golden Tornadoes were 23-18 in 2009 and used an impressive offensive attack, along with the arms of Derek Sumner and Matt Baer to lead the way on the mound.

With the key components of Derek Sumner, Nick Phillips, Tadd Eyster and Andy Lubich lost to graduation, the Golden Tornadoes will welcome the return of several veterans to the line-up next year.

Geneva's offense posted a team batting average of close to .340 in 2009 and returning starters Jon Jurinko, Joe Jurinko, Phil Shallenberger, Justin McGurgan, Joel Gatti and Justin Acosta will look to continue their offensive onslaught next year.

Head coach Alan Sumner will open his 22nd season in 2010 and will need just two victories to become Geneva's first 500 game winner in any sport.
