Four from Widener's baseball squad were honored with Commonwealth Conference awards.
Freshman pitcher Jason Ferrie (Royersford, PA) was tabbed the league's Rookie of the Year and senior designated hitter Colin McHale (Wynnewood, PA) was picked first team all-league. Freshman left fielder Dan Sieracki (Cherry Hill, NJ) and sophomore second baseman Alex Oliver (Lebanon, NJ) were tabbed second team all-conference.

He was fifth in the league with a 3.05 ERA, fourth with a .226 opposing batting average, fifth with 58 strikeouts and fifth in wins in addition to just 28 walks. Against the league, he was 3-0 with a 2.32 ERA to go with 34 strikeouts and only nine walks over 31 innings.
