The Citadel Athletics

A two-time member of the All-Southern Conference baseball team and a four-year letterman … his 30 victories, along with Hall of Famer Dick Almes ’60, set the standard for all Citadel pitchers … when he graduated in 1987, Montei was tied as the second all-time winningest pitcher in military college history … also upon his graduation, he held school records for most innings pitched in a season (99.1 in ’87) and career (315), and most career appearances (64) … regarded as a control pitcher with the breaking ball as his bread-and-butter pitch, Montei, as a freshman, was the winning pitcher for Coach Chal Port’s 400th career victory … averaging a miniscule 1.3 walks per 9 innings, Montei defeated Furman in Greenville four consecutive years and was the winning pitcher against North Carolina three straight years.
