So far I am having a great time at the Big South Tournament. After Coastal won the opening game today, the Big South conducted its awards ceremony. Coastal cleaned up in that event also.
Not surprisingly, Coastal’s Gary Gilmore was the Coach of the Year for having a perfect 25-0 regular season record. Anthony Meo was a unanimous selection for Pitcher of the Year. After today, he is 13-1. Arguably the most prestigious award, Scholar-Athlete of the Year, went to Austin Fleet. He is the Chanticleer closer and he has started a few games during the season.
Coastal set a conference record with eight players named to the all conference first team:
SP | Anthony Meo, So., RHP
SP | Cody Wheeler, Jr., LHP
RP | Matt Rein, Jr., LHP
C | Jose Iglesias, Sr.
2B | Tommy La Stella, R-So.
3B | Scott Woodward, Jr.
SS | Taylor Motter, So.
OF | Rico Noel, Jr.
Freshman RHP Ryan Connolly made the all conference second team.
