Seeing Augustana have three pitchers make the All Region team, with two of them being 1st Team selections, would sure make you think they were set up to do well at Regionals....  Instead, it was a 1-2 finish to the season.

Augie sure had the pitching to carry them further. They had one of the strongest bullpens in the CCIW.

D3Baseball announces its All-American selections.

CCIW honorees are:

First team: SP Harrison Boushele, Augustana
Second team: SP Josh Wintroub, Augustana
Fourth team: RP Nolan Shannon, North Central
Fifth team: OF Trey Romay, Elmhurst

Notable is the choice of Brett Sanchez of Belhaven as Pitcher of the Year, over Boushele and Gabe Van Emon of Endicott, both of whom had very comparable season stats.  Boushele's posted more wins (8-3 vs 6-2) and his ERA was lower (1.63 to Sanchez's 1.81), and Van Emon's numbers are even better: 10-1 and 1.51.  All three hurlers surpassed 100 K's on the season in roughly the same number of innings pitched (83-84).  It will be interesting to see how these selections line up with the ACBA choices.

Congratulations to Greg Sager on his induction into the North Park Viking Hall of Fame!  He is well deserving of this honor, given his dedication to and support of all Viking sports and his work as announcer in many of them (and at times, two different sports on the same day!).  The ceremony will take place on December 2nd.
