MANSFIELD, Pa. - Senior pitcher Ben Rawding of the Mercyhurst University baseball team has been named to the 2013 ABCA/Rawlings All-Atlantic Region Second Team as announced on Monday.

Rawding's latest accolade makes three postseason honors for the lefthander from Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Earlier this month, he earned All-PSAC West First Team honors and was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association (NCBWA) All-Atlantic Region Honorable Mention team.

The senior southpaw went 9-3 record with a 2.66 earned run average and struck out 86 batters in 81.1 innings of work. Seven of his 12 starts were complete games and he tossed his fourth career shutout on April 20 in a 4-0 blanking of Clarion.

He leaves as the program's all-time leader in victories with 30, surpassing former MLB pitcher John Costello, who recorded 26 wins from 1980-81. He finished with 288 career strikeouts, second all-time, and his four career shutouts are tied for the most in program history, and his 291.1 innings pitched are also tops in program history. The senior went 30-8 over his career, including 25-4 during the last three seasons.

Earlier this year, Rawding shattered the PSAC record for most consecutive pitching decisions with a victory, winning 19 straight. Steve Micknich of Mansfield held the previous record of 14 straight.
