BASEBALL: 7 locals earn Mid Penn Conference First-Team selections


After winning the Mid Penn Colonial Division title, Shippensburg was honored Tuesday with a slew of nominations to the Mid Penn Conference baseball all-star teams.

Cordell Shannon and Daulton Brenize led the way, earning Co-Players of the Year honors in the Colonial Division, and Nate Rosenberry was tabbed as the division's Coach of the Year.

Shippensburg's Cole Friese and Teagan Staver were also named to the First Team along with five other locals.

In the Colonial Division, Waynesboro boasted a pair of first-teamers. Cody Cline and Austin Hanshew both earned nods, while Derek Measell was the lone first-team pick for Greencastle-Antrim.

Chambersburg had a pair earn selections to the Commonwealth Division First Team. Tristan Daywalt and Drew Betz both earned the awards, but no other Trojan was recognized as the Commonwealth Division did not select honorable mentions.

Greencastle and Ship both had a pair named to the Second Team. Blue Devils Quin Ambeault and Matt Kline and Greyhounds Damon Watkins and Nick Jacoby were both honored, as were Waynesboro's Sawyer Duffey and James Buchanan's Aaron Nagy.

Area honorable mentions in the Colonial Division were Greencastle's Myles Gayman, Kurt Hansen and Bailey Parker; Shippensburg's Noah Auman and Nate Reiner; Zach Stultz of Waynesboro; and James Buchanan sophomore Jared Pine.
