Scott Wanshura, Warrior Baseball, 1987-89: Scott Wanshura played three seasons for Winona State after transferring to WSU from Grandview College and left his mark as one of the best hitters in Warrior history. He was dominant at the plate over that time, with several impressive career marks, hitting .431, including 33 home runs and driving in 162 RBI's. His .431 lifetime average, 56 career doubles and 26 game hitting streak all rank No. 1 in WSU baseball history. Wanshura earned First Team All-America honors in 1988 and Second Team All-America Honors in 1989. He also led the 1988 Winona State team to the NAIA World Series. Wanshura was an All-Conference and All-District performer all three years at Winona State, and a leader on Warrior teams which won three consecutive Conference championships. During his career, Wanshura collected several single-season batting accolades, including the most consecutive at-bats reaching base (18), most hits (89), and home runs in a season (20); his single season .590 batting average still stands as a conference record. Wanshura passed away on August 31, 2018, after a long battle with cancer and is inducted posthumously by the committee.
