DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Senior first baseman Russel Deutschmann (Baden, Ontario) and sophomore designated hitter Bryan Chaikowsky (Bethlehem, Pa.) were named to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference baseball all-tournament team, the league announced Sunday following its championship game at Jackie Robinson Ballpark.
The duo tallied five of UMES' 10 base hits in the tournament.
Deutschmann was 3-for-8 at the plate in the Hawks' two losses in the tournament. He earned one single in the first game against No. 3 Florida A&M, a 12-2 defeat, and picked up two more singles in a 4-0 setback to sixth-seeded Norfolk State.
Chaikowsky was 2-for-6 with a pair of doubles and an RBI to finish the season as the team leader in two baggers with 13. He had an RBI double in the second inning against the Rattlers to put the Hawks up, 2-0.
Bethune-Cookman won its fourth consecutive MEAC baseball title, 15-9, over North Carolina A&T Sunday.
