Knights' Recruiting Class Delivers Quality and Quantity
After finishing the 2010 campaign with the fourth-most wins in school history, the Carleton College baseball team has a number of things to be excited about. Lost to graduation were just one full-time position player and one starter on the mound. The Knights return five offensive starters who hit .350 or better and a quartet of pitchers who combined for all but five of the team's victories. Adding to this core are several talented players who make up the biggest freshmen class to walk through the doors at Carleton during Aaron Rushing's tenure as head coach.

Patrick Philley went 5-for-5 with 4 RBI, including a walk-off single in the seventh as the Carleton College baseball team completed a doubleheader sweep of North Central University (Minn.) in the Knights’ season finale.
