Lost Two UM Baseball Greats

[Pentagon Cane]

Steve Lerner and Phil Lane. Steve was 4 years ahead of me at Beach and threw the best curve I've seen at any level. He was a dominant lefty at UM. And then there was Phil Lane. Miami's first true power hitter and anchor on the 1982 national championship team.

Rest In Peace, prayers to their families for grace and comfort.

****. They weren’t that old.

Sorry to hear

That's a shame - wasn't Phil Lane at the 40 year reunion just a month or two back?

Phil Lane died? Wow. Only a few years older than me. No obituary online.

What happened to Phil Lane ? Steve Lerner was a local coach also ?

IIRC, Phil hit the big 3 run bomb against Wichita State in the Canes comeback win in the 1982 Championship game.

Thank you for bringing this to the board. The ‘82 season was before my time but I’ve seen the highlights more times than I can count. Continued Prayers to you and your family in the months/years ahead. Happy Holidays.
