Team Preps for Season Kickoff at Kent State

Skipper "Wild" Bill Lippert

The recent champions of the first annual State College Classic are ready to take their skills on the road. The PSBC will leave Happy Valley on Friday afternoon destined for Kent State with high expectations as they kick off the 2012 season. Yes, I know it's still 2011 but these games count towards the 2012 season and will be vital in the team's pursuit of Penn State's first NCBA D1 Championship. A healthy mixture of youth and experience has been practicing hard to gel and is ready to compete. This team seems to have just the right mixture of drive, tenacity, and tom-foolery to be successful and cannot wait to kick off league play. Coach William Lippert said, "We’re really excited to get the conference season going this weekend at Kent State. Even though the weather was lousy, I was really happy that we were able to get three games in during the State College Classic. It allowed us to get some of our new players on the field right away, and I was pleased with our overall performance. Conference road games are always a challenge, so we’ll look to finish up a quality week of practice and come out ready to go on Saturday."

As Dark Clouds Depart Baseball Looms on the Horizon

After 2 days of backbreaking manual labor by the PSBC, the Shaner Complex is ready to kick off the State College Classic this Friday night at 4:30 with Penn State D1 playing host to SUNY Cortland. The Penn State Baseball Club is excited to kick off its 2011-2012 season and looks to rebound from a disappointing end to last years playoff run.

PSBC Alum Promoted to Director of Division 1 Baseball Operations

Pete Chalfin, a three time NCBA All-American pitcher for the Penn State Baseball Club, was recently promoted to Director of Division 1 Baseball Operations. Pete graduated from Penn State University in 2008 with a degree in journalism and joined the NCBA staff as the North Atlantic Region Director. After being asked for his feelings on the recent promotion Pete said, "I am honored to be promoted to Director of Division I Baseball Operations. Playing in the NCBA was the most rewarding experience of my four years at Penn State. Now, I’m fortunate enough to be in a position where I can help provide a similar, or hopefully an even better experience, for thousands of other college students at universities throughout the country. I’m excited for the opportunity to help the NCBA continue to grow and improve." We would like to congratulate Mr. Chalfin and wish him all the best with his new role.
