Baseball Places Four on All-OAC Teams, Most Since 2005

WESTERVILLE, Ohio - The Wilmington College baseball team placed four on the All-Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) baseball teams as the league unveiled its postseason awards on Thursday. 

A trio of Fightin' Quakers - Caleb Scott, Zach Christensen and Tyler Shaneyfelt - earned Second Team All-OAC recognition while Jared Lammert garnered Honorable Mention All-OAC honors. The four individuals being named All-OAC is the post for the program since the 2005 season.

Scott had one of the best individual offensive seasons in Wilmington history, hitting a .403 clip with a team-best 14 doubles, six home runs and program record 53 RBIs, shattering the old record of 40. He also led the Quakers in slugging at .603.

Shaneyfelt, once named the OAC Hitter of the Week, hit .368 on the season and led the conference in stolen bases with 28. He also pitched for the WC pitching staff, hurling 25 innings with a 3.60 ERA and two wins, one of which was a complete-game shutout at Heidelberg University, snapping a lengthy losing streak to the Student Princes. 

Christensen set the program record for batting average in a season hitting a .486 clip to go along with an on-base percentage of .519. The freshman, like Shaneyfelt, was a threat on the base paths, swiping 26 on the year. Six of those steals came in a single game against Capital University, tying the OAC record for stolen bags in a game and finishing one off the NCAA Division III record of seven. 

Lammert also hit in the top of the Quakers' lineup and hit a .397 clip for the year to go along with 27 RBIs and a team-leading 28 walks. He also hit four triples and a home run.

Wilmington, which set four program records, finished the year with a 21-19 record to mark the first winning season for the program since 2005. WC also finished sixth place in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) with an 8-10 record.
