BABSON PARK, Mass. – Senior righty Tyler Hitchcock (Abington, Mass.) will take the mound one more time representing Endicott, as he was selected to play in the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) Senior All-Star game.
The All-Star Game will be played on Monday, June 3rd at LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts at 7pm.
Hitchcock, who recently became the first Endicott baseball player to be named All-American, will join teams from Divisions II and III in the exhibition game, and will be the only member of the Division III squad representing the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC).
The year has already been filled with accolades for Hitchcock, who was named the CCC Pitcher of the Year and First Team All-CCC member. He was also named to the All-Tournament team at this year's NCAA Division III New England regional, where he helped the Gulls reach the championship round for the first time in the program's five trips to the national tournament.
Hitchcock was also named to the Second Team of the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) All-Region Team and the First Team of the D3Baseball.com All New England Team, which made him eligible for this All-America honor.
This season, Hitchcock posted a 9-1 record, throwing five complete games and holding an earned run average of just 1.89. Hitchcock tossed five and a third innings of one-run ball in Endicott's NCAA Regional opener against St. Joseph's, earning a no-decision, and then collected a victory in the Gull's win over Southern Maine in the winner's bracket championship, where he threw four innings of one-hit shutout relief.
In the CCC tournament, Hitchcock tossed seven innings of three-hit shutout ball during an elimination game against Salve Regina to help the Blue and Green reach the championship game, where they knocked off Western New England.
