BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - 2009 was a banner year for Birmingham-Southern Baseball. In only their second year of competing in Division III, with a team primarily consisting of sophomores, the Panthers won the SCAC Eastern Division championship and finished with a record of 29-11.
Six Panthers were named to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference All-Conference Team, with 5 earning 1st Team honors. Catcher Sam Hill, the 2008 SCAC Freshman-of-the-Year, and OF Drew Leachman were also named to the ABCA All-South Region team. Hill was a first team member and Leachman garnered third team honors.
The Panthers also excelled in the classroom, posting a 3.05 team GPA for 2008-2009. Thirteen players earned SCAC All-Academic Team honors. 23 players earned a GPA of 3.0 and higher, and 7 of these players were named to the BSC Dean's List with a GPA above 3.5.
BSC Baseball looks for another great year this year as the bulk of the team returns in 2010. The Panthers' fall practice begins on September 11th.
BSC Baseball has tremendous success on the Diamond and in the Classroom in 2009
