Former Gloucester County College Coach Thriving at Rider

Davis was an unknown in the Trenton-area when he was hired by the Broncs to take over for the legendary Sonny Pittaro.

And that was no easy task in itself all Pittaro did was win 766 games and have the field where Davis\’ team now plays named after him.

For that matter, Rider had just two baseball coaches from 1961 Pittaro and Tom Petroff, both of whom are in the school\’s Hall of Fame before Davis arrived in Lawrenceville in 2005.

A southerner who grew up in Bridgewater, Va., and coached at George Mason, Frostburg State and Georgia Southwestern, Davis made a name for himself in South Jersey where he won four National Junior College titles at Gloucester County College.
