Terashima, a Liberal Arts & Sciences: General Studies major at Herkimer College, amassed 11 hits in six games, going 11-18 at the plate which equates to a .611 average. That wasnt it however as the centerfielder also collected 12 runs scored, two doubles, one triple, seven runs batted in, four walks and two stolen bases. Currently, Terashima is Top 10 in the nation in runs scored (7th), batting average (7th) and on base percentage (6th).

Taishi has worked hard on improving his strength and it has paid off to start his sophomore year, said Head Baseball Coach Jason Rathbun. We think he is going to have a big year for us, and all of the credit goes to his hard work.
