Oswego State Baseball Coach
Frank Paino won his 400th game in a double header
against Oneonta Aprill 22. |
Oswego State Baseball Coach Frank Paino reached an impressive
milestone by winning his 400th game in charge of the
Laker dugout when the Lakers swept Oneonta in a SUNYAC
doubleheader April 22.
The Lakers won 3 to 1 behind an impressive pitching
performance from Justin White
’08, who was named SUNYAC and ECAC Upstate
Pitcher of the Week.
Paino entered the season with a 389-279-1 career record
and has led the Lakers to a 13 and 8 overall record
and the team looks to qualify for the SUNYAC playoffs.
Paino has been at the helm of the Laker baseball program
since 1987, doing an impressive job of continuing the
standards set by former coaches Max Ziel and Walt "Doc"
Nitardy.
Paino is a 1981 graduate of Coastal Carolina where he
played on successful baseball teams that made four regional
and two World Series appearances.
At Oswego State, Paino's teams have been invited to
postseason play in 12 of his 20 years. His Lakers have
won eight SUNYAC West and three SUNYAC Championship
titles and have been to the ECAC Championships on seven
occasions, winning once and placing second three times.
In addition, Paino was named the SUNYAC Coach of the
Year in 1988, 1989, 1996 and 2001.
Paino earned his 300th victory during the 2001 season.
He is also the strength training coordinator at the
varsity weight room.
