Southland releases preseason all-conference team
Lamar
sophomore pitcher Eric Harrington, the 2009 Southland Conference
Freshman of the Year, headlines the 2010 preseason
all-conference team, as released by the league office.
A first-team all-conference pick a season ago,
Harrington was 8-1 and led the Southland with a 3.01 ERA. He led
the team with 83.2 innings pitched and recorded 63 strikeouts.
Other first-team all-conference selections
returning from last season include junior second baseman Braeden
Riley of Sam Houston State, senior third baseman Lance Brown of
UTSA and junior outfielder Michael Choice of UT Arlington.
Players who earned first and second-team
all-conference honors in 2009 automatically receive preseason
honors. Third-team postseason selections moved into vacated
positions on the first and second preseason teams. The remaining
spots were filled in voting by the league’s head coaches.
The season begins on Feb. 19, with conference
play starting March 5. For the second straight year, the
Southland Tournament will be at Whataburger Field in Corpus
Christi, Texas. The dates are May 26-29.
