Hopkins Places Seven on All-Centennial Baseball Team
May 7, 2003
LANCASTER, PA - Seven Johns Hopkins baseball players were honored today as the Centennial Conference released the 2003 All-Centennial Conference baseball teams as selected by the conference's 10 head coaches. The Blue Jays, who won their third straight Centennial Conference Championship and sixth overall, placed four players on the first team and three on the second team.
Senior Jeremy Brown (Baltimore, MD/McDonogh School) and sophomore Paul Winterling (Glenelg, MD/McDonogh School) highlighted the group as they earned Pitcher of the Year and Player of the Year honors, respectively. Brown became JHU's third straight Pitcher of the Year selection and fifth in the last seven seasons, while Winterling is the sixth Blue Jay to earn Player of the Year honors and first since 2000.
Brown leads the team with a career-high seven wins and has posted a 3.38 ERA in 58.2 innings pitched. He also leads the team in starts (9), complete games (5) and strikeouts (70), while limiting opponents to a combined .211 average. Brown, who pitched a no-hitter against Lakeland in his first start of the year, has recorded double figure strikeouts in three games and sports a 14-5 record for his career.
Winterling, who earned Centennial honors for the first time, has had an exceptional campaign in his second year as a Blue Jay. He is batting .404 with a team-high 44 hits in 109 at-bats and leads the team with 42 runs, 12 doubles, 12 stolen bases and a .826 slugging percentage. Winterling is also tied for the team lead with 10 home runs and second with 40 runs batted in.
Joining Brown and Winterling on the first team were sophomore second baseman Mike Spiciarich (Syosset, NY/Chaminade) and senior designated hitter Jay Cieri (Pine Brook, NY/Montville). Spiciarich earned Centennial honors for the first time in his first season as a starter. He is batting .402 with 35 hits in 87 at-bats and has also totaled 29 runs scored, 11 doubles, eight stolen bases, 12 RBIs and a team-high three triples.
Cieri, who was named to the second team a year ago, has batted .356 with 32 hits in 90 at-bats from the leadoff position. He leads the Blue Jays in walks (27) and on-base percentage (.517), while ranking third in runs scored (32) and stolen bases (10). Cieri has added five home runs, 16 RBIs and three doubles.
Earning second team honors were sophomore first baseman Mike Durgala (Annandale, VA/Thomas Jefferson), sophomore third baseman Paul Long (Oklahoma City, OK/Heritage Hall) and junior outfielder Craig Cetta (Randolph, NJ/Randolph). Cetta was named to the second team for the second straight season, while Durgala and Long received Centennial honors for the first time.
Cetta is batting .350 with 36 hits in 103 at-bats and has totaled 27 runs scored and 27 runs batted in. He is also third on the team with a career-high six home runs, while adding seven stolen bases, five doubles and two triples.
Durgala leads the team with 41 runs batted in, is tied for the team lead with 10 home runs and is hitting .394 with 39 hits. He is second on the team with 33 runs scored and a .788 slugging percentage, while adding nine doubles and eight stolen bases. In his first year as a starter, Long is hitting .374 with 34 hits in 91 at-bats. He is second on the team with 11 stolen bases and has totaled 26 runs, nine doubles, five home runs and 23 runs batted in.
