SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – The CSUSB baseball team had nine of its members earn All-CCAA recognition on Tuesday, including four First Team, three Second Team, and two Honorable Mention.

Coleman is also chasing history, having tied the all-time program win record in his last start to improve to 17-6 in his career. With his next win, he will become the winningest pitcher in program history.

They are unquestionably two of the top five hitters in the CCAA and look to power the lineup this postseason. They are both top 10 on the all-time CSUSB home run list, and each could make a legitimate run at the program record next season.
 
DeShawn Johnson, Garrett Macias, and Dylan O'Connor were each named All-CCAA Second Team. Johnson and Macias have also been consistent threats in the lineup, with Johnson ranking top 10 in the CCAA in nearly offensive category and first in runs scored.

O'Connor was a two-time CCAA Pitcher of the Week, leading the Yotes with four complete games and 74 strikeouts in 71.0 innings. He was also named NCBWA West Region Pitcher of the Week.
 
Luke Hempel and Danny Garcia rounded out the selections, each being named All-CCAA Honorable Mention. Hempel owned a record of 6-3 on the bump, ranking third on the team in innings pitched and fourth in strikeouts with 45.
