Dr. Bridwell compiled a 19-3 record during his three seasons with the Racer baseball team and his career earned run average of 1.28 is the second-best ever for a Murray pitcher.
He holds Murray career records for the fewest number of base-on-balls per nine innings (2) and the most wins (9) in a season. He was named “Most Valuable Pitcher” of the 1959 and 1961 teams. The ’59 and ’61 teams were Ohio Valley Conference champions. The 1960 team finished second.
Dr. Bridwell, also originally from Marion, is now a member of the Murray State physics faculty. (Murray State Alumnus, 1973)
