  • Eisenhart chosen for Deering baseball job

    Feb 02, 2012 5:00 pm

    PORTLAND—There were many reasons why the Deering baseball job appealed to Tim Eisenhart, but the most profound, simply put, was that it gave him an opportunity to come home.

    Eisenhart, a 1989 DHS graduate, has been nominated to succeed Mark Sutton as the coach of the storied Rams program. His hiring will become official after receiving school board approval.

    "I had an amazing baseball experience at Deering under (former coach) Mort Soule," Eisenhart said. "It's great to be a part of such a strong tradition of coaches. I really just want to carry on the tradition."
