From Hall of Honor press release dated Oct. 25, 2005:

Those who know say there has never been a better fielding first baseman in Wittenberg baseball history than Randy Sturtz. In three of his four seasons in the Red & White, Sturtz played errorless baseball, and in 1972, his bat came around as well with a .396 batting average in addition to his 1.000 fielding percentage. That combination earned Sturtz first-team All-OAC, first-team All-Great Lakes District and first-team All-America honors following his senior season. A four-year starter, Sturtz, who led the Tigers to three winning seasons, hit better than .300 in three of his four collegiate seasons and ranked among the OAC leaders in home runs and runs batted in 1971. Then in 1972, he ranked seventh in the conference in batting average. A native of North Robinson, Ohio, Sturtz graduated from Wittenberg with a degree in economics. He currently resides in Fairborn, Ohio.
