Hatboro-Horsham baseball coach Peter Moore was part of the Class of 2012 inductees into the Temple University Athletics’ Hall of Fame. Also included in the class were Danny Akerman (men’s gymnastics), Marc Jackson (men’s basketball), Lance Johnstone (football), Jason ‘JR’ Read (men’s crew) and Doug Shobert (football) as well as the 1988 Women’s Lacrosse NCAA Championship team.

Moore is one of the top two-way players in Temple baseball history. He still owns 11 Owl pitching records while as a catcher he accumulated 130 career hits and a .298 batting average. A four-year letterman (1996-99), the Hatboro native is the most versatile hurler in Temple history as evidenced by his senior season when he was named Atlantic 10 Conference Pitcher of the Year. That season he set school single-season records for complete games (10) and saves (8) while compiling a 5-6 record with 103 strikeouts and a 2.50 ERA. He also was named Academic All-Atlantic 10 Conference. His still-standing Temple records include season marks for complete games, innings pitched (117) and strikeouts (120) and career marks for games (84), complete games (26), saves (14), innings pitched (389.0), strikeouts (405) and shutouts (5).

The inductees were recognized at Temple’s Homecoming football game and BIG EAST Conference opener against South Florida on Oct. 6 at Lincoln Financial Field.
