Devin Pearson


Spurning the Toronto Blue Jays offer has paid dividends for Devin Pearson, who is second on the Cal baseball team in hitting this spring at .328 in 41 starts.
 Pearson, who earned a starting position in the outfield for the Bears, is second on the team in runs scored (25) and third in hits (52) and doubles (8).
 A four year starter at Carmel, Pearson has two homers and has been hit by nine pitches. He has played flawless in the outfield, having handled all 90 chances.
 Former Stevenson standout Nick Halamandaris has started 26 games for the Bears, having hit two homers while sporting a .970 fielding percentage at first base.

 Nicole Burr put the Mississippi Valley State softball team on her shoulders in the conference title game, leading them to the Southwest Athletic Conference title.
 Burr, a Stevenson graduate, had three hits in the tournament championship game, including a home run, driving in four runs and scoring four runs.
 Named to the Southwest Athletic Conference all-tournament team for the second straight year, Burr was second in the conference in home runs (9) and walks (26). She went into the NCAA Regionals with 49 hits.
