Western Oregon University Athletics

Over 30 years since he threw his last pitch, Rod Jones name is still peppered throughout the WOU record books ... His 3.08 career ERA still stands tied for third all-time and his 14 strikeouts in a contest have him tied for second ... He stands in fourth place with a single-season earned run average of 1.88 ... Recorded four no-hitters during his four years at Western Oregon ... Was a two-time all-district selection ... Perhaps the most impressive part was Jones did all this as just one of four pitchers on the roster ... Was also a very skilled batsman and was a member of the Wolves’ highly talented offensive core, nicknamed the “Gashouse Gang” ... Helped Western Oregon reached the regional championships in 1968 and 1969.
