Slippery Rock University Athletics

The 1968 baseball team, led by head coach Wally Rose, opened the year with a 2-1 loss on the road at West Virginia University in Morgantown before bouncing back to knock off the Mountaineers in the second game of the doubleheader. All they did after that was win 15 more games in a row to finish the year with 16 straight victories and a 16-1 overall record. They had six games rained out over the course of the year, and unfortunately, never got the chance to play in the postseason after not being selected for NCAA lower division play. Rose and three players from that team, Tom Stabile, Roger Flynn and Dick Hudson, are already enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
