The Rhodes College Baseball team has one goal for 2010: a SCAC championship.  In order for this goal to be attained, the Lynx must continue to do what has made them so successful over the past four years, playing an unselfish style of baseball and doing all the little things right.  Rhodes has used this template for success to win 68% of their games (117-56) over the past four years to become one of the strongest programs in the South region.  With head coach Jeff Cleanthes entering his seventh season at the helm, this year’s team will be without a doubt the deepest he has coached and has the potential to be one of the most successful.
