The best of the best in Region 8 baseball were tapped on May 11, when the Division I All-FCSAA/All-NJCAA Region 8 Baseball Team was announced. Congratulations to all, but we're most proud of SPC's own Andrey Martinez, who will play outfield!
Martinez, from Barranquilla, Colombia, had a great year playing for the Titans. He led the team with a .414 batting average, hit 42 runs - 13 of them home runs - had an RBI of 62 and stole 14 bases. He was named Division I player of the week in April, and was SPC's Baseball Player of the Year.
