Andy Rice - Baseball 1975-1979

Even though it has been 34 years since his last pitch for legendary coach Johnny Reagan, Rice ranked high in MSU career baseball accomplishments. Rice finished his career second all-time at MSU in wins (22), second in complete games (17) and fourth in innings pitched with 194. His 2.99 earned run average is still 10^th all-time in the Thoroughbreds’ program. As a senior in 1979, Rice tossed one of only six MSU no-hitters at the time against Western Kentucky. What made the game even more memorable is that MSU lost 1-0. Rice was a three-time All-OVC selection and is one of only two pitchers at MSU to earn all-league honors three times. Rice was selected by the Houston Astros in the 1979 amateur baseball draft. He now resides in Evansville, Ind.
