In memory of former Head Coach Jerry Blemker, this fund supports the VU Baseball team led by Coach Chris Barney. This fund helps give the team the competitive edge it needs.
Over Blemker’s 38-year baseball career he accumulated the most wins by a coach in National Junior College Athletic Association Division II history when he retired from baseball in 2006. His 1,178 victories earned him a spot in the NJCAA Hall of Fame. He also coached the Gold Medal-winning North team at the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival. More than 180 of Blemker’s VU players continued playing at universities throughout the United States. Twenty-seven of them signed professional contracts. In March 2009, the baseball field at Vincennes University was named in Blemker’s honor.
Blazers Give...One day that makes a difference every day!
