Hall of Honor
The 1975 Marion College Baseball Team secures its place in the IWU Hall of Honor on the 50th anniversary of the baseball program’s first conference championship. The team posted an impressive 10-2 conference record en route to claiming the league title. Dave Arrendale anchored the pitching staff with a 4-1 MCC record with 31 strikeouts in 24 innings. Shortstop, Don Shelmon, led the team at the plate with 15 hits and a .405 average. Barry Lauber hit a team-high three home runs, and Mike Broughton collected 15 RBIs. The team as a whole outscored its MCC opponents 82-41 in the 12 conference games. Together, this group laid the groundwork for decades of baseball excellence at Indiana Wesleyan, leaving a lasting impression on the field and in the record books.
