Minium: ODU Won Its First Conference USA Baseball Title With Equal Parts Grit and Determination

By Harry Minium

The last time Old Dominion University won a conference baseball title, Bill Clinton was in his first term as president, Nintendo 64 was the hottest thing to hit the market and Princess Diana and Prince Charles divorced.

Space Jam was all the rage at the movie theaters.

And not a single one of ODU's current 44 players had been born.

ODU won the CAA tournament for the third consecutive year on May 18, 1996 in Kinston, North Carolina, when the Monarchs rallied in the bottom of the ninth to defeat James Madison, 4-3.
