Tradewater Pirate outfielder/pitcher Sean Mahley brought home some well-deserved hardware on April 26 when he was named to the All Mid-South Conference First Team.
Mahley started all 50 games played by the University of the Cumberlands (31-19) this spring and ranked among the top three in nearly every offensive category for the Patriots.
Cumberlands catcher and future Pirate Miguel Vasquez earned an Honorable Mention All-Conference honor.
Mahley led the team in runs (51) and RBIs (48), but Vasquez paced the Patriots in doubles with 15. Mahley and Vasquez hit .331 and .309 respectively.
Vasquez showed great hands behind the plate by committing just two errors in 162 chances and throwing out seven of 20 attempted base stealers.
Meanwhile, Mahley exhibited patience at the plate and speed on the base paths. Mahley walked 28 times while striking out 11 times and stole 17 of 19 attempted bags.
At Oral Roberts University (Okla.), Colby Price didn't win any awards, but he sure deserved one for his game-winning hit against Wichita State University (Kan.) on Tuesday.

At Oral Roberts University (Okla.), Colby Price didn't win any awards, but he sure deserved one for his game-winning hit against Wichita State University (Kan.) on Tuesday.
Price delivered a go-ahead single in the top of the 13th inning to give Oral Roberts a 7-6 lead. The Golden Eagles (23-11) maintained the advantage in the bottom half of the inning to secure the win.
The game marked Oral Roberts' first contest in 10 days, but Price, who started at second base, did not show any signs of rust going 3-for-6 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
For much of the first half of the season, Price was used primarily as a reserve, but since being inserted into the starting lineup he has caught fire. In 82 at-bats, Price has posted a .354 batting average and ranks second among Golden Eagle hitters with 80 or more at-bats.
Despite a successful individual season, Brock Green's collegiate year came to a close with Ouachita Baptist University (Ark.) on Tuesday.
The Tigers fell 16-1 to Valdosta State University (Ga.) in Millington, Tenn. at the Gulf South Conference Tournament and finished 37-20, 11-10 GSC on the season.
Green ended with a .363 batting average and 58 hits, both second-best for Ouachita Baptist. Like Mahley, Green exhibited a great eye at the plate striking out just 16 times in 160 official at-bats and walking 18 times. Green also established himself as a clutch hitter. With runners on, Green hit .343 (34-for-99) and with two outs he hit .516 (16-for-31).
