GREENSBORO, N.C. — After earning their way on All-Region squads a few weeks ago, a pair of Newberry College baseball players have earned additional honors at that level. Sophomore Henry Gibson (Walterboro) and junior Braylin Marine (Freeport, N.Y.) were each named to the All-Southeast Region, this time by the American Baseball Coaches Association.
The two were part of a 10 student athlete contingency from the South Atlantic Conference that were named to both teams.
Marine, earned first-team honors in his shortstop position, hit .431 on the season while tallying 59 runs scored, 73 RBIs and 32 total bases. He finished the season with the conference lead in batting average, hits, doubles, triples and RBIs. He currently ranks among the top players in the country in hits, doubles and RBIs as well.
Gibson earned his second-team honor in the infield where he started 45 games for the Wolves this season. He posted team high slugging percentage of .619 and was the conference leader in on-base percentage on the year with a .536. He hit for a .422 average on the year driving in 49 runs and scoring 36 of his own. He tallied 14 doubles, three triples and a trio of home runs as well.
ABCA/Rawlings All-Region First-Team selections are nominated for ABCA/Rawlings All-America honors, which will be announced later in June.
