Adams was one of the Midwest’s most prolific sluggers as first baseman for the Titans being named a two-time All-District 4 honoree. He won the Titans’ “Triple Crown” as a sophomore by leading the 1979 team in home runs (13) and RBI (55) – both setting school records – along with a .361 batting average. By the time his playing days ended, he set U-D records for career home runs (33) and RBI (177) while also standing second in runs scored (144) and fifth in batting average (.346). He remains in the all-time Top 5 in six all-time offensive categories.
