As a batter, he led the Cowboys with 5 doubles and his .293 average was the second best on the team.
Fellow senior Mason Allen landed a spot on the Second-Team for the first All-Conference honor of his baseball career. The catcher hit .231 with 14 RBIs and 3 doubles, and had a fielding percentage of .968 for CGD. As a pitcher, Allen was 1-0 with a save in five appearances.
