Baseball Hall of Fame

Class AA State Runner Up

Mid-Illini Conference Champions

Season Record: 28-7 and conference record: 11-1.

Under the tutelage of the late IHSBCA Hall of Fame Coach Mike McDonald, the 1994 Morton Potter baseball team posted a 28-7 overall record and finished as the runner-up in the state tournament.

The Potters won the Mid-Illini Conference with an 11-1 record, losing only to Limestone. Morton avenged the loss to Limestone later in the regular season before posting a second win over the Rockets in the regional championship game. Victories over Bradley-Bourbonnais and Chatham Glenwood in sectional play preceded a 9-1 win over Belvidere in IHSA state quarterfinal action and an 11-1 drubbing of Chicago Lane Tech in the semifinal round.

The Potters were defeated by a very strong Joliet Catholic team in the state title game. Morton compiled a team batting average of .330 with seven players hitting .300 or better. They averaged 7.8 runs per game while allowing just 3.5 per game.
