Baseball: Park View SR Bobby Mason Commits to D2 Chowan University

Sterling (Jan. 24, 2012) - Park View High School senior pitcher Bobby Mason has commited to play baseball at Division II Chowan University in Murfreesboro, NC. Last year the Hawks won the CIAA and advanced to the regionals. Mason has been a 3-year varsity starter for the Patriots and was named a first team All-Dulles District utility player after his sophomore year. He threw the fourth no-hitter in school history last year.

During his 2011 summer and fall season with the Virginia Renegades, Mason had 20 mound appearances compiling a 4-3 record against some of the best teams from the Mid Atlantic area. He pitched 52 innings with a 2.33 ERA with 59 strike outs.

Mason was also very good at the plate with a .340 AVG over 43 games with 103 at bats. Renegades coach Joe Beaulac had this to say when he heard Bobby had committed: ”As a member of the Renegades, he was the leader of the pitching staff and took the ball against the top competition. With his continued development, he is projected to be among the top pitchers in the Dulles District in the Spring when he takes the mound for coach Mickey Leap’s Park View HS Patriots.”
