By Bob Elliott

Not to sound like one of those old CBC Hinterland Who’s Who commercials, but ...

That coach at College World Series sounded as if he was a narrating a special on Canadian breed of animal, not an otter or a beaver, he was discussing Canada and its Seawolves.

Stony Brook Seawolves’ coach Matt Senk, whose team went a Div. III program to one that gave LSU Tigers its first home playoff loss in 12 years and a berth at the CWS, explained one key reason for success was recruiting players from Ontario:

Maxx Tissenbaum (Toronto), Jasvir Rakkar (Brampton), Tanner Nivins (Kitchener) and Cole Peragine (Belle Ewart).

“I made a connection there with a gentleman named Dan Thompson, who is an outstanding baseball person. He had his team on Long Island and he took a liking to what our program was doing. We started recruiting his players, and true to his word, and true to form, those guys were excellent players, excellent students and excellent young men.

“What more do you want in a student-athlete than that?”

Senk saw Tissenbaum wearing a Toronto Mets uniform at the Ontario Cup and Tissenbaum became his second baseman and clean-up hitter.

He recruited right fielder Nivins, shortstop Peragine and reliever Rakkar to Stony Brook from Thompson’s Ontario Terriers.

The Seawolves became the Cinderella story of college ball with four Canadians playing starring roles.

When it came time for the voting electorate to select the 13th annual Canadian Baseball Network all-Canadian college team there were Seawolves aplenty.

And Tissenbaum was top dawg, er Seawolve and top Canadian.
