Mar. 17, 2023 - Luke Lamm,
Jason Shanner, and
Rob Marinec all put themselves atop various North Central College baseball career record boards this past weekend in Florida at the Snowbird Baseball Classic.
Lamm set a new career benchmark for wins in a career as he earned his 27th win on Tuesday in a 7-1 victory over Babson College. He ranks fourth in career strikeouts with 232, third in innings pitched at 240.1, and first in games started at 40. Over his career, Lamm has tallied a 3.15 earned-run average, good for fifth all-time. His 2021 season with 11 wins is the most in a single season as he punched out 92 batters that season.
Shanner broke former teammate Charlie Klemm's '22 career strikeout record in Thursday's loss to Arcadia University. He picked up a no-decision while striking out eight batters to bring his career strikeouts to 246. Shanner also ranks third in career wins with 20, fifth in appearances with 65, and eighth in career saves at eight. Last season, he recorded six saves, the fifth-most for a single season while posting a 5-0 record.
Rob Marinec tied Jeremy Quade's '19 record for most hits in a career with 247 on Wednesday in the Cardinals' 8-7 win over Wooster. He now sits atop the career record board for hits, doubles (54), and sacrifice flies (16) while ranking second in runs scored (186), total bases (440), runs batted in (227), triples (14), at-bats (672), and games played (174). Marinec is third all-time with 37 career home runs. His 247 hits are third in NCAA DIII among active players where his 440 total bases are the most among DIII players and second among players at all levels.
