Sensenig receives L-S Baseball Alumni Award

On April 21, Chad Sensenig, who resides in the Solanco School District, received the 2023 Lampeter-Strasburg Distinguished Baseball Alumni Award prior to the Pioneers' game against Conestoga Valley. This designation began in 1999 to honor past Lampeter-Strasburg (L-S) baseball players and coaches for their outstanding performance while playing or coaching baseball at L-S and beyond.

Sensenig, a 1991 L-S graduate, played baseball for four years, earning three letters, and went on to play baseball at Millersville University.

As a high school junior, Sensenig led the section in home runs and RBIs, stole 11 bases, had a batting average of .441, was named first team All-Section for third base, and was named team MVP.

In his senior year, Sensenig was named first team All-Section pitcher as well as MVP and team Most Valuable Pitcher. He was named to the Lancaster-Lebanon League All-Star Team. He was sixth all-time in strike outs with 96 in a single season and fourth all-time in innings pitched in a single season. His career batting average was .356. He was in the top 10 in career triples, seventh all-time in career strikeouts and eighth all-time in career innings pitched. Sensenig was the only L-S player to ever reach the All State American Legion East-West All-Star Team, which he accomplished in 1991. He threw a no-hitter in first-round district playoffs.

At Millersville University, Sensenig was named Freshman of the Year in 1992, batted .441 in PSAC with an overall batting average of .341, and led the team in stolen bases with 10, which was a freshman record. He was 2-0 as a pitcher.

Beyond college, Sensenig played fastpitch at a highly competitive level, winning several state championships and traveling to several national tournaments, where he made multiple all-tournament teams. He continued in sports by coaching youth baseball for seven years and Midget Football for six years.
