Hall of Famer Bernie Austin
United States   #16 - Bernie Austin [ID #84727]     P
Home Town: Newport News, Virginia           School: none
Hall Of Famer                     Bats (S)           Throws (R)           Positions: P
Games 448, W 162, L 149, S 2, CG 58, SHO 8, ERA 3.43, BAA .244, WHIP 1.251, IP 2841⅔, K 2132
Notes:
That's what Bernie Austin was called by fans, teamates, and just about everybody else. "Blackhawk".

The Virginian native has etched himself into Harrisonburg lore, and has become bigger than life. Definitely bigger than his 178 lb. 5'9" frame.

In early 2022 he was aquired by the Harrisonburg Cardinals baseball team through waivers. He came to a franchise who had just moved to Harrisonburg a few seasons before and was still establishing their identity. Owner/general manager Dave Lee who bought and moved the team in 2020 was still finding his place inside the franchise managerial aspect as well. The Cardinals were an older team in desperate need of young stars to build a younger better team around. Bernie Austin was that player.

After a rough rookie season Blackhawk developed into everything the Harrisonburg administration had hoped for. He became the Ace of what became one of the best rotations in franchise history. He went to become a five time all-star, two time all-league, and two time CY young award winner. And led the Cardinals to their first Level II appearance.

His style of pitching was truly five star, From a strong, hard fastball, to a solid,chang of pace, wicked curve and sinker, and most of all pin point accuracy. And above all that the endurance to consistently take a game into late innings.

His 162 wins are the most in franchise history. He had two seasons with over 290 innings pitched. His ability to stay healthy was remarkable. His 2132 k's are also by far the most in franchise records. His career ERA of 3.43 is elite with a career as long as he had.

Yes, Bernie Austin enters Harrisonburg Hall of Fame easily as the most dominating pitcher in franchise history. We will never forget your dominance, passion, and competitivness "Blackhawk".

Notes: Rickey Clemons was a pure leader. The Ace of the staff during the 2019 rise to III.1 A pitcher that just wore out batters. A very well controlled fastball, good Chang up, and a good curveball, produced the 1412 strikeouts. He retired at 36 years old spending his whole career with the Cardinals. Former Coach Marquis Kennedy had a lot of good things to say about Clemons. "He had such a confident attitude, not swaggering overconfidence, but a strong sense of leadership that inspired his teammates and me.
