Rookies David Prosser (4-4) and Montreal Leonard (2-0) came through with some sterling pitching stints to supplement Hamilton's efforts. But In the tournament, the man was ^ Edwin Griffin. The right-handed sidearmer (4-2, 3.88 ERA) was nearly untouchable in post-season. He won two complete games and was the named the tournament MVP. And why not? He handcuffed the Bison, scattering four singles, striking out three and walking five. In A&M's 8-1 opening round win over Eastern Shore, he issued just five hits. There were no surprises in the CIAA this year. Norfolk State's Spartans took care of Second-baseman Chris Mitchell, an Ail American in '89, led the team in hitting (.403), ^dim-base percentage(.486).

Bradshaw has always been on the minds of the major league scouts. Before deciding to attend NSU, he was drafted out of high school iby the New York Yankees as a shortstop. But while Mitchell and Bradshaw get most of the press, the Spartans are far from being a two-man team.

They finished the year at 36-16 and made their third straight appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs. In the conference tournament, the Spar tans rolled to victory by winning four straight games. NSU stopped Bowie State, 3-0, tered a twin whippings to Virginia State in the finals (11-6, 12-5). All season long, Norfolk displayed the kind of balance that kept them one step ahead of the opposition. Seven NSU players batted better than 300 (team average was 327) and four members of the pitching staff had won four or more games. Indivdidually, this team has a buschel of top-level talent. runs.
