2001 Titans
Honored at Baseball Banquet Dec. 1, 2001 Fullerton, Calif. The 2001 Cal State Fullerton baseball team, which posted a 48-18 record and advanced to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., was honored at the annual awards banquet at the Golleher Alumni House on campus Saturday afternoon. Special tributes were paid to the Titan seniors of a year ago, pirmarily David Bacani, Kirk Saarloos and Jon Smith, all of whom played four years in a Titan uniform. Coach George Horton, who served as the emcee for the banquet, pointed out that the Titans won four championships in 2001: the Kia Baseball Bash, Big West Conference, NCAA Regional and NCAA Super Regional. "We may have come up short on our goal of winning a national title, but you accomplished more than many of the best teams that have played here," Horton told the players. "That's something to be proud of." Several team awards, as voted on by the players, were handed out. They included: Most Improved Player: P.J. Pilittere Outstanding Offensive Player: Mike Rouse Outstanding Defensive Player: Chris Stringfellow Best Teammate: Sean Alley Most Valuable Pitcher: Kirk Saarloos Tim Wallach Most Valuable Player: Mike Rouse
