Gideon was 5-for-8 with 5 RBI and five runs scored vs Laurier
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. - The Brock University baseball team extended their OUA regular season win streak to six games as they defeated the Laurier Golden Hawks by scores of 11-5 and 8-4 Saturday afternoon at George Taylor Field.

During batting practice, Brock Baseball Hall of Famer Dan Baribeau took some swings and showed that he still has some pop, belting one over the left field fence.

Prior to the game, Brock Baseball inducted two individuals into the Brock Baseball Hall of Fame who made a big impact to the program. The first inductee was Shaun Valeriote who played two seasons at Brock and was twice named the OUA Top Hitter and became the first OUA player to be drafted to the major leagues by the Toronto Blue Jays. Also inducted was former coach and builder Ron Zimmerman who started with the program in 1996 and was part of two CIBA National Championships (1998, 1999) and three OUA Titles (2002, 2004, 2010). Ron was a great coach and was very instrumental in the community building partnerships during his years with the program.

Since it's first season in 1995, Brock Baseball continues to be one of the top program's in Canada, thanks to all those players, coaches, and staff from the past and present that have worn the Badgers uniform.
