MONMOUTH, Ill. —
An award from
a national coaches organization capped a stellar season for Monmouth
College senior Matt Bourne (Bloomington, Ill./Central Catholic).
Bourne, a
left-handed pitcher, was named to the American Baseball Coaches
Association All-Central Region Third Team. He posted a 6-2 record
with a 3.34 ERA – both career bests – and led the team with five
complete games and 64.2 innings pitched. His 39 strikeouts, 10
appearances and opponent’s .249 batting average were all second on
the Fighting Scots’ staff. The southpaw also earned his first
All-Midwest Conference selection on the heels of the Scots’ eighth
South Division title in nine years.
The ABCA was
formed in 1945 and was instrumental in the creation of the College
World Series. With more than 6,000 members, the ABCA has annually
named all-region and All-American teams since 1950.
