Hall of Fame
The 1996 Baseball team, under the direction of Head Coach Jim McDermott, went 26-15 and won the Middle Atlantic Conference for the first time in school history. The '96 Devils also earned the school's first NCAA Tournament appearance. Led by three Hall of Famers, right fielder Andy Paulus, center fielder Ed Litsky, and first baseman Tom Neiman, FDU won 14 straight games after their Spring Break Trip. Starting pitchers Kevin White, Chris Keelin, and Adam Petsko helped the Devils beat Elizabethtown and King's twice to win the Conference Tournament. FDU was defeated by Montclair State and Amherst in the NCAA Tournament. Other major contributors included First Team All-Conference performers Jason Fitzgerald and Todd Hicok.
