Ruzich added, “Stephen deserves every award he received this year and his numbers speak for themselves. He will continue his career at Northern Illinois University where has accepted a baseball scholarship beginning the fall of 2014.”

Ruzich was also recently inducted into the NJCAA Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame. He has now coached 15 All-Americans and his program boasts an 80% graduation rate, including 253 players that have continued on to four-year institutions.
