Stories
A Minute With Garrison Ferone’22
In late April, fifth-year biology and Spanish language double major and shortstop Garrison Ferone’22 got his 205th hit, breaking Beloit’s all-time record previously held by Mike Kovach’11. Needless to say, it’s been an astronomical year for Ferone, now crowned the college’s “Hit King,” but it’s one year built on four others, including a semester studying abroad in the Galapagos Islands off Ecuador’s coast.
