PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Barry University’s baseball team continues to collect post season accolades as three members of the Buccaneer squad have been named to the Daktronics All-Region team.

After putting together one of the more memorable seasons in recent Buccaneer history, Adrian English adds another first-team selection to his list of honors. Joining English on the Daktronics First-Team All-Region is junior Tyler Kellmann.

The duo solidified the middle of the Bucs' lineup hitting third and fourth in the for the majority of the season. English was the Bucs’ primary second baseman while also seeing time at third base and shortstop. Kellmann was the ultimate utility man starting 26 games at first and 24 in the hot-corner playing outstanding defense at each position.

Junior Calvin Rayburn joins Kellmann and English on the Daktronics All-Region team as a second-team selection. Rayburn led the Sunshine State Conference with nine victories while tossing three complete games, one shutout and earning one save in 75 innings of work.
