Joseph Saverino has committed to continue his education and baseball career at Maryville College in Maryville, Tenn.

The son of Belinda and Philip Saverino from Upper Marlboro, MD, Joseph is a starting outfielder for the College of Southern Maryland.  As a freshman in 2008, Joseph batted .354 with 17 stolen bases and 11 RBIs.  He is currently hitting .310 and has already stolen 12 bases. 

The head coach of the Scots, Daniel Washburn, had this to say about Joseph's decision to continue his career at Maryville College: "Joseph is a tremendous student-athlete and we are fortunate to have him joining our program here at Maryville.  He is a very athletic outfielder, impact runner on the bases, and his experience as a lead-off hitter will be a tremendous addition to our ballclub.  The coaching staff expects Joseph to make an immediate impact in our program, and he is a nice compliment to an already solid group of outfielders.  The coaching staff looks forward to Joseph's arrival in the fall, and with his commitment we feel as though we have solidified the outfield position."

 Joseph will be joining a Maryville team that currently sports a record of 15-14.  Coach Washburn is in his third season at the helm of the program and has already led the Scots to one Great South Conference Championship.  Maryville continues Great South Conference play when they travel to Piedmont on Thursday. First pitch of the three game series is scheduled for 7:00 pm.
