STATESBORO - Three Georgia Southern baseball players were named to the Statesboro Regional All-Tournament team after the conclusion of the Statesboro Regional on Sunday, June 5. The players named were LHP Ty Fisher, DH Noah Ledford, and CF Sam Blancato.

Fisher also kept the UNCG offense from scoring a run, earning a shutout victory for the Eagles. Fisher struckout six batters and only allowed four walks, only allowing batters to hit .133 against him in the 8-0 win.
DH Noah Ledford continued his tear by holding the highest individual batting average of everyone in the Regional, batting .750 with a slugging percentage of 1.250 for the tournament. Ledford went 6-for-8 with three runs, a double, a homer, one RBI, and 10 total base. He also had an on-base percentage of .846 after being walked five times, including two intentional walks.
CF Sam Blancato had the second-highest batting average for the Eagles during the Statesboro Regional with a .364 BA and a .545 slugging percentage. Blancato went 4-for-11 with two runs of his own, knocking two doubles and driving in two runners.
