Keene State College Athletics/Alumni Hall of Fame
Rick Pearce was a three year member of the Keene State baseball team. A right-handed hurler from nearby Swanzey, Pearce was one of the leading lights for an Owl team in the early days of NCAA Division II competition.
As the No. 1 pitcher for the Owls, Pearce used a strong combination of fastball and forkball to aggressively challenge opposing batters. When he graduated, he was KSC’s all-time leader in earned run average at 3.47, as well as wins (10) and threw more complete games (11) than anyone in school history to that point.
