SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University baseball team had four of its players named Wednesday to the 2018 American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings NCAA Division II All-Atlantic Region teams.
 
Senior outfielder Dalton Hoiles and redshirt-sophomore starting pitcher Zack Sims earned All-Region First Team honors, while senior starting pitcher Gabe Mosser and junior shortstop Cash Gladfelter were named to the All-Region Second Team.
 
Hoiles and Sims became consensus All-Region performers, after having previously received All-Atlantic Region Second Team honors by both the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and the region's sports information directors through the D2CCA balloting.
 
Mosser and Gladfelter earn their first All-Region honors of the offseason. For Mosser, it is the second consecutive year he has received All-Atlantic Region Second Team honors from the ABCA.
 
Hoiles finished the season leading the Raiders with a .362 average, 10 home runs, 41 RBIs, 22 doubles, 41 runs and a .452 on-base percentage. All of those marks, save for the RBI total, are new single-season bests. His 22 doubles leads the Atlantic Region and tied the SU single-season school record. Hoiles also totaled 116 total bases, which ranks eighth in the Atlantic Region.
 
Sims was the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) pitching wins leader at the completion of the regular season. His 2018 campaign included 81.2 innings pitched and 89 strikeouts – both single-season bests. He posted a 9-4 record and a 2.76 ERA, throwing four complete games and holding opponents to a .220 batting average against. Sims also produced a 1.11 WHIP (walks and hits/innings pitched), which ranks fourth in the region.
 
Mosser finished the season with an 8-4 record and a 3.28 ERA over 74 innings. His six complete games rank second in the Atlantic Region (tied for 15th in Division II). His 93 strikeouts, eight wins and 4.43:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio all rank fourth in the Atlantic Region. Mosser limited opponents to a .231 batting average against.
 
Gladfelter batted .324 this season with four home runs, 11 doubles and 33 RBIs. His five triples tied for second in the Atlantic Region. Defensively, he had a team-high 111 assists from his spot at shortstop. Gladfelter had an especially strong conclusion to the season: over his final 25 games, he hit .414 with 12 extra-base hits, 21 RBIs, 10 walks (.471 OBP) and scored 23 runs.
 
The teams are voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association and the process is led by the ABCA NCAA Div. II All-America Committee. First-team selections are nominated for ABCA/Rawlings All-America honors. The ABCA/Rawlings All-Americans will be announced on Tuesday, May 29.
