In 1998, the Observer and the American Baseball Coaches Association named him coach of the year.
“I would like to take a moment to thank the people who have had such an impact on me personally as the baseball coach at Providence Day,” Cerbie said. “Twenty-nine years ago, athletics director Bill Rogers took a chance on a young coach to come in and take over the baseball program. I am forever grateful for that opportunity.”
Cerbie’s team is 13-4 this season. The Chargers have won seven in row, including unbeaten runs through the Disney Spring Break Classic and the local Jack Sink Easter Tournament.
