BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Five Tiger baseball student-athletes picked up Mid-South Conference regular season honors, officials announced on Wednesday night.

Full list of MSC awards

Campbellsville had a trio of players named first-team All-MSC, while another was named to the second team. Also, CU had a Gold Glove recipient.

Nineteen players earned first-team all-conference while another 19 were named to the conference's second team. The player of the year, pitcher of the year, freshman of the year and all-conference selections are voted on by the coaches. Coaches were not allowed to vote for their own players.

Cameron Ketchen (OF), Nick Przybylek (SP) and Jake Pannunzio (RP) joined 16 other student-athletes on the first-team.

Mario Morales (SP) was the lone second-team member, while Riley Joyce picked up the Gold Glove award at catcher.

Ketchen leads the Tigers with a .397 batting average and 35 RBI. He is also tied for the team-lead with four home runs. The sophomore from Cave Creek, Ariz. finished the regular season on a high note by driving in season-high six runs on Tuesday afternoon at Brescia University.

Przybylek worked himself as the staff ace this season after recording a 7-2 record and 2.73 ERA, while also tossing 66 innings and striking out 58 batters.

Pannunzio has been the best closer in the Mid-South and one of the top relief pitchers in the NAIA this season. He leads the team by appearing in 22 games and tossing 34.1 innings. Pannunzio finished the regular season with a 5-1 record and 13 saves, which ranks No. 3 in the NAIA.

Morales is right behind Przybylek with six wins (6-4) but leads the Tigers starting pitchers with a 2.35 ERA. Morales leads CU by tossing 72.2 innings and striking out 68 batters.

Catcher Riley Joyce has seen the most action behind the plate for the Tigers starting in 43 of the 46 games he played. He has helped the pitching staff boast a 3.59 team ERA. Defensively, Joyce threw out 11-of-19 base stealers and finished with a fielding percentage of .994 – only two errors on the season in 293 chances.

The Mid-South Conference Baseball Tournament begins on Thursday and Friday at various sites across the MSC. The top four seeds in the tournament serve as hosts for a best two-out-of-three opening-round series. The four winners advance to Bowling Green Ballpark for the remainder of the tournament -- a double-elimination tournament -- May 6-8.

Campbellsville, which won a share of the MSC regular season title, will host eighth-seed Shawnee State in a doubleheader that begins at 2 p.m. ET on Friday afternoon.

Three series begin on Thursday. No. 3 seed Pikeville hosts sixth-seeded St. Catharine and fourth-seeded Georgetown hosts fifth-seeded Cumberland at 3 p.m. ET. No. 2 seed Lindsey Wilson hosts Cumberlands at 6 p.m. CT.

St. Catharine's Alfredo Bohorquez is the 2016 Mid-South Conference Baseball Player of Year while teammate Daniel Lerma is the MSC Pitcher of the Year.

Bohorquez ranked in the conference's top 10 in eight offensive categories, including leading the MSC in stolen bases (32) and triples (11). His .341 batting average is 10th in the Mid-South while his 46 runs ranks second and .545 slugging percentage is fourth. He also ranks in the top 10 in hits (57), total bases (91) and on-base percentage (.449).

Nationally, Bohorquez is second in the NAIA in triples and 10th in steals.  

Lerma led the Mid-South with a 1.53 earned run average and a .203 opponent's batting average. He also tossed a conference-high 88 innings this season while posting a 5-4 overall record and a 3-1 mark against MSC competition. He ranks ninth in the NAIA in ERA and 13th in innings pitched.

Georgetown's Ryan Garner and St. Catharine's Joseph Martin were selected MSC Baseball Co-Freshmen of the Year while Pikeville's Jim Pitt was voted on by his peers as the conference's coach of the year.

Garner hit .317 for the Tigers in his first season of collegiate baseball. He drove in 14 runs while collecting five doubles during the season. Martin was 4-1 for the Patriots with a 2.12 ERA. He struck out 26 batters in 34 innings.

Pitt was voted as the Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year after guiding the Bears to a 24-21 overall record in his first season as head coach. He led Pikeville to an 11-10 mark in the MSC -- good enough for a tie for third place -- after the Bears finished 17-28 overall and went winless in 19 conference games a season ago. The MSC Coach of the Year honor is Pitt's first.
