Moran earns Second Team All-Region

GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Grove City College junior center fielder Brian Moran (Columbia, Md./Chapelgate) earned Division III Rawlings/American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Second Team All-Mideast Region honors Thursday from the region's head baseball coaches.

Moran led Grove City (16-19) in 11 different offensive categories this season. He hit a team-leading .419 while starting all 35 games for the Wolverines. Moran set new single-season Grove City records with 54 total hits and 29 stolen bases. Moran also led Grove City with 39 runs scored, 35 runs batted in and 89 total bases.

Moran's .690 slugging percentage ranked second in the Presidents' Athletic Conference. He also ranked third in batting average and fifth in on-base percentage (.466). Moran shared the PAC lead with six triples and finished second in the conference in stolen bases. Last week, Moran earned First Team All-Presidents' Athletic Conference honors from the conference coaches.

Moran opened the season by earning the PAC's Hitter of the Week award March 11.

It is the second straight year that a Grove City player earned All-Mideast honors. In 2006, pitcher Erik Arnesen earned Second Team All-Region recognition.
