Five Pioneers claim All-District 7 honors
|
Senior catcher Daniel Owens and senior pitcher Ryan Vincion both earned spots on the All-District team, while senior Jake Mitchell and juniors Glenn Rogers and Derek Kennamer were named to the league’s second team.
Owens led all full-time players with a .366 batting average, and batted .360 with runners in scoring position, driving in 15 runs and hitting one homer.
Vincion, who along with Owens served as a co-captain on this year’s Pioneer squad, amassed a 4-4 record, allowing and earned run average of 4.06 while working 41-1/3 innings. He averaged 6.6 strikeouts and just 1.02 walks per game.
Mitchell saw time at third base, the outfield and at designated hitter this year, turning in a .238 batting average and 18 RBIs.
Rogers, the heavy hitter of the Pioneer lineup this season, led the team in home runs with six and turned in a team-high 28 RBIs while batting .311 for the season with a .589 slugging percentage.
Kennamer batted .344 from the leadoff spot, with an on-base percentage of .388, and stole 22 bases while being caught just once.
The Pioneers’ season-ending banquet is scheduled for later this week, when All-District honorees and other award winners will be recognized.
