May 10, 2001

The proof is in the polling for the Monmouth College baseball team. The Scots landed nine players on the South Division All-Midwest Conference first and second teams and grabbed Player the of Year, Pitcher of the Year and Coach of the Year honors.

Coach Roger Sander earned Coach of the Year honors after his team ran away with the South Division with an 11-1 conference mark. The lone Scots senior, shortstop Casey Boydstun (.429, 20 runs, 9 doubles), took Player of the Year honors, while junior pitcher Joe Larkins (2-1, 2.14 ERA, .205 opponent batting average) shared the Pitcher of the Year honor with Grinnell’s Jacob Chavez.

Joining Boydstun and Larkins on the first team were juniors Steve Glasgow (.316, 15 RBI), Taylor Thiel (.357, 15 RBI) and Ryan Johnson (3-0, 2.77 ERA) and sophomores Beau Hellman (.457, 13 RBI) and Jim Brady (3-0, 2.21 ERA).

Named to the second team was junior Dustin White (.282, 8 runs) and freshman Adam Carlson (3-0, 2.86 ERA).
