Park View High School senior Bobby Mason recently committed to play baseball at Chowan University, a Division II program in Murfreesboro, N.C.

Mason is a three-year varsity starter for the Patriots. Mason, a first team All-Dulles District utility player as a sophomore, pitched the fourth no-hitter in Park View in his junior season.

Chowan won the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association title and advanced to the regional playoffs last spring.

Mason is coming off a strong summer and fall season with the Virginia Renegades club team. Mason went 4-3 with a 2.33 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 52 innings pitched. He also hit .340 in 103 at bats.

“As a member of the Renegades, he was the leader of the pitching staff and took the ball against the top competition,” Renegades coach Joe Beaulac stated. “With his continued development, he is projected to be among the top pitchers in the Dulles District in the spring when he takes the mound for coach Mickey Leap’s Park View Patriots.”
