A Little Bit of History

Cal State Northridge came through the losers’ bracket and defeated Florida Southern, 10-5, to win the NCAA Division II World Series in 1984.

Perry Husband, the Northridge senior second baseman, was the most valuable player in the series, getting 13 hits in 28 at-bats and scoring 16 runs.

Jim Walker pitched a four-hitter, striking out eight in the championship game.

Northridge finished with a 46-21-1 record and Coach Bob Hiegert resigned after the season to devote more time to his job as Northridge athletic director.
