Savage, Shelton, Valdez Named to All-Tournament Team

Will Savage (SR, Benet Academy, IL), Nathan Shelton (JR, Northwest HS, STL), and Victor Valdez (SR, Benet Academy, IL) were named to the All-Tournament Team for their play in the Central Regional, in Moline, IL, in the NCAA III Tournament.  

Savage made his only start a memorable one as he pitched a four-hit shutout in the regional opener, leading Webster to a 6-0 victory over Ripon College (WI).  Savage walked three, and struck out six, as he threw his third shutout of the season.  He also pitched in two combined shutouts as well.  Savage allowed no earned runs, 13 hits, and struck out 20, in his final 25 innings pitched on the season.

Shelton was 10-16, with five runs scored and two RBIs for the regional.  In addition to his prowess at the plate, Shelton was outstanding defensively at second base with eight putouts, 11 assists, and no errors, while making several diving stops.  

Valdez put the cherry on the top of his season by going 10-17 with six runs, nine RBIs, two doubles, and two home runs.  His totals for the regional gave him single season all-time Webster records for home runs (16) and RBIs (70), put him at #3 in hits (67), and tied for #3 in runs (52) and triples (3).
