BASEBALL ADDS OFFENSE 
WITH ROB EMMONS  (5/26/04)

Coach Matt Schans adds strength to the offensive efforts for the 2005 season as he adds Rob Emmons to the team. Emmons, a graduate of Johnsburg High School (IL), signed a letter of intent, agreeing to play his college baseball years at Trinity Christian College while pursuing a degree in business communications. 

The right handed Emmons, son of Jim and Linda Emmons, played both a catcher and outfielder for his high school team. He helped his team to winning season in his senior year as he provided offensive power at the plate. During that season Emmons had a .507 batting average with 34 hits, including 10 doubles and 4 homeruns, while bringing in at least 23 RBIs. 

"Rob will make an immediate impact on our team. He will step into the catcher position, giving us some depth at that position, as well as compete for an outfield position, " says Coach Schans. "Rob hit around .500 as a high school senior and has good power. He is a good base runner who can steal bases and gives us some needed athleticism. Rob is an outstanding person who will be a great addition to our program."
