SteepleCats Shaw and Greig Receive Top Division-II Honor - May 28, 2008
NORTH ADAMS - Two members of the North Adams SteepleCats have been named to their respective Daktronics All-Region baseball teams. This is one of the top honors that are offered to a Division-II athlete.
Nick Shaw of Barry University in Miami has been named an All-South Region First Team as a shortstop. Shaw hit a team leading .398, finishing third in the Sunshine State Conference in batting, and had an eye-popping on-base percentage of .528 thanks in part to finishing tied for third in the NCAA in walks with 53. He also swiped 12 bases. Over his two year career at Barry, Shaw has hit .343 and has reached base an astounding 49% of the time that he has stepped to the plate for the Buccaneers. Shaw was also named First Team All Sunshine State Conference.
TJ Greig was named to the All-Northeast Region Second Team as an outfielder. The Molloy College sophomore followed up his fine freshman season and top notch summer ball experience with a strong second season for the Lions. Greig hit .332, good for third in the East Coast Conference in hitting, with two homers and 47 RBI with eight stolen bases in nine attempts. The 47 RBI were second in the conference en route to being named an all ECC First Team selection.
All-Region first team honorees are eligible to be named Division-II All-Americans.
The SteepleCats will open their 2008 campaign with a three game homestand, starting on June 6th with a date against the Torrington Twisters. June 7th sees the Newport Gulls come to Joe Wolfe Field with the weekend concluding against the Manchester Silkworms on June 8th. All three games have a first pitch slated for 7 p.m. with the gates opening at 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.steeplecats.com
