NORFOLK, Virginia -- Robbie Hiser, an all-state selection who helped Grafton High reach the 2012 Group AA state tournament semifinals, signed recently to play collegiate baseball at Norfolk State University. Hiser, who played the past two years at Lenoir Community College in North Carolina, said the scholarship will pay for most of his expenses.
“I think Norfolk State is an up-and-coming program,” Hiser said. “They won 23 games last season (against 26 losses) and went 14-10 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
“I’d like to come in and help them break Bethune-Cookman’s string of (seven of the past eight) MEAC championships.”
The role he’ll likely play for NSU, as closer, would be a key to that objective. Hiser, a 5-foot-10, 205-pound rising junior, had a good sophomore season for Lenoir, going 2-0 with a 1.65 earned-run average in 10 games, with 41 strikeouts in 27 innings.
