In other news, the Diamond would like to issue a congratulations to SR LHP Alex Schomaeker (#AlShoe) - on April 6th against Mount St. Joe, Alex recorded his 6th save of 2013 season. Making the southpaw the all-time leader in saves in program history. Mind you that the first ever Defiance College baseball team took the field in the spring of 1905. Congrats, Altitude!
