Baseball: Preseason number three in coaches' poll
Date: February 27, 2008
Location: CLEVELAND
Interim head coach Justin Dedman and the Denison Big Red have been picked to finish third in this year's NCAC preseason coaches' poll and second in the NCAC West. With 68 points in the vote they trail Wooster, last season's regular season champ, and Ohio Wesleyan, the tournament champion.
The Big Red return a solid core of talent headlined by junior second baseman Justin Held (Hudson, Ohio/Hudson). Held hit .400 a year ago, being named first team All-NCAC in center field.
The baseball season opens this weekend as the Big Red travel to Memphis for three games with Franklin, Rhodes and North Park.
