University of Southern Indiana senior leftfielder Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) and junior catcher Logan Brown (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) were named Division 2 Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) All-Midwest Region. The All-Region honors were the second of the year for McNamara and Brown.
McNamara, who was named to the first-team as an outfielder, has had a record-setting season for the Eagles in 2018. The senior outfielder is hitting a team-best .385 batting average with single-season records of 16 home runs and 71 RBIs.
