Post Season Honors and Tournaments

There have been a host of Red Roosters who have earned recognition for their play this season. As mentioned in an earlier post, Rodney Francis was named to the All-Commonwealth 2nd Team.

Doug Dekoning of UW-Milwaukee has had a busy late season. He was named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team. The Panthers also won their first game of the Horizon League Tournament 10-7 in 14 innings against Cleveland State. Milwaukee will play tomorrow at either 2 p.m. CST against Wright State or at 6 p.m. CST against UIC. The time and opponent will be determined based on the result of the Valparaiso/Youngstown State game.

Steve Galella of Rider University was named to the New Jersey College Baseball Association(NJCBA) All-Rookie Team. The Broncos begin the MAAC Tournament tomorrow at 6 p.m. EST against Cansius.

Conor Mullee of St. Peter's College was named to the NJCBA Second Team. Both Rider and St. Peter's play in the MAAC, which has not yet released All-Conference Teams.

Nick Chinners and Kory Morian of Charleston Southern were knocked out of the Big South Tournament yesterday. The Bucs were beaten 6-1 by Radford. Kory had two hits in the game.

Wes Wilson of Indiana University is involved in a game as I type. I tried to get live stats, but have been unable to find a score. Check back later with an update.

Chris LaLonde of Centenary College will play in the Summit League Tournament, which begins tomorrow. They will face Oral Roberts at 7 p.m. CST.

Two Red Roosters were ousted from the NCAA Division III Regional Tournament last week. Andrew Pooler of St. Joseph's-Maine lost their first two games last week. Mike Pagano and Augustana were able to pull off two exciting bottom of the ninth wins to start the tournament 2-0. Unfortunately, they the lost two of their next three and were eliminated one game from the Division III World Series.

Finally, Steele Myers of Jordan High School in North Carolina made it to the 3rd round of the North Carolina State Playoffs. Steele was named to the 4-A(Largest Division) All-State Team as a junior. He has committed to Virginia Military Institute.

Congratulations to everyone on great seasons and good luck to all those still playing!
