Psomas was West Virginia’s second leading hitter in 2004, batting .343 with a team-best nine home runs and 45 RBI. He was one of only two Mountaineers to start every single game a year ago, collecting all 52 starts at shortstop. In three seasons, Psomas batted .317 with 21 home runs, 110 runs batted in and 58 extra base hits in 152 career games. He ranks seventh in school history in extra base hits, eighth in runs batted in and ninth in home runs.
Cline had another outstanding season as a junior in 2004, garnering first-team all-BIG EAST honors. He finished the year with an 8-3 record and a 2.65 earned run average in 78 innings pitched. At the end of the regular season he was leading the country in complete games with 10, and through three seasons owns a 24-11 career record with a 3.63 earned run average in 282.2 innings of work. Cline ranks first on the school career list with 23 complete games, is third in innings pitched, is tied with Jim Heise for sixth in victories and is 10th in strike outs with 206.
This past June, Psomas and Cline were selected in the 15th round of the Major League Baseball draft. Psomas was the 434th overall player taken by the New York Mets while Cline went 18 spots later to the Philadelphia Phillies.
