Baseball

Paul Fernandes will begin a second tour of duty as head baseball coach this spring. Fernandes, who coached the Lions from 1978–98 and has served as associate athletic director since then, replaces Mik Aoki, who became associate head coach at Boston College. Under Aoki, Columbia was 87–140 in five seasons, including 21–27 last year. Fernandes, who coached for nine seasons at C.W. Post before coming to Columbia, owns a career mark of 469–529–3. His 1987 squad set a school record by winning 28 games. Thirteen of his players have advanced to professional baseball careers, including former major leaguers Gene Larkin ’84 and Frank Seminara ’89.
