(June 4) Two Emory University players were recognized in the voting for the all-region team conducted by the American Baseball Coaches Association.

Pitcher Jason Glushon was named to the all-region second team and catcher Griffin Baum received honorable mention. This is the first such honor for either player.

Glushon, a sophomore, led the team in wins with a 5-0 record and added two saves. He compiled a 2.55 earned run average, the fourth-best in Emory history for a first-year starter (minimum 50 innings pitched). Glushon worked into the sixth inning in seven of his 10 starts.

Baum also was honored on the all-conference second team and as the team's Most Improved Player. The sophomore catcher led the team in on-base percentage (.443) and was second in batting average (.343), home runs (3) and slugging percentage (.515).

Emory has had an all-region honoree every year since the varsity baseball program was reinstated in 1991. In that time, 56 Eagles have been recognized on the all-region team or received honorable mention.

(May 31) Justin Gordon has been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America third team for baseball. He previously made the Academic All-District first team.

Gordon, who played second base and designated hitter, finished with a .320 batting average, his third season of hitting .300 or better. He had a 3.94 GPA while pursuing a major in chemistry and a minor in economics.

This is the fifth consecutive year that an Emory player has been voted to the Academic All-America team. Gordon is the eighth Emory honoree in the last eight years.

To be eligible, a nominee must be at least a sophomore with a 3.2 GPA and a starter or key reserve on their team. Emory nominees are placed in the "college division" category, which is composed of all NCAA Division II and III and NAIA schools.

(May 12) Emory University juniors Taylor Gettinger and Justin Gordon have been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District first team. Both names will be placed on the national ballot for the Academic All-America team to be announced in June.

Gettinger, an infielder, led the team with a .388 batting average and .527 slugging percentage in his first season as a regular starter. He had a 3.50 cumulative grade point average as a double major in economics and psychology.

Gordon, who played second base and designated hitter, finished with a .320 batting average, his third season of hitting .300 or better. He had a 3.94 GPA while pursuing a major in chemistry and a minor in economics.

(April 14) Ian Ganzer picked up Emory University's first complete-game victory of the season in a 6-1 win over the University of the South (Tenn.).
