Grieve Makes Atlantic 10 All-Freshman Team
Freshman walk-on Chris Grieve had a .281 batting average and 50 hits while playing three infield positions

by Jayson Thomas, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter

PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Carnegie Mellon freshman infielder Chris Grieve garnered the program’s first all-conference nod, as he was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Freshman Team as announced by the league earlier this morning.

Grieve, a product of Fox Chapel High School in Blawnox, Pa., began the season on the bench but took a starting role when he replaced classmate Robby Freed following a five-game academic suspension in the middle of February. He didn’t give it up from there, rotating between second base, third base, and shortstop in the Tartans’ starting lineup while compiling a .281 batting average, .293 on-base percentage, and .388 slugging percentage with one homerun, 15 runs batted in, 12 runs scored, 50 hits, and two stolen bases.

Grieve was listed at utility on the Atlantic 10 All-Freshman Team. Carnegie Mellon finished its first season with a 9-37 overall record and 7-21 mark in Atlantic 10 play.

Kip Stolp sweeps Golden Spikes, Roger Clemens Awards
Michigan’s junior ace posted a 14-1 record with 2.52 earned run average and 181 strikeouts this season

ASSOCIATED PRESS -- Michigan junior right-handed pitcher Kip Stolp took home both of college baseball’s biggest awards over the weekend, as he was named the recipient of the Golden Spikes Award and Roger Clemens Award.

Stolp finished his third season with a 14-1 overall record and compiled a 2.52 earned run average, 181 strikeouts, and 46 walks in 168.0 innings pitched. He beat out Oklahoma State sophomore centerfielder Darwin Sarver and Rice junior right-hander Willie Clausen for the Roger Clemens Award, while Clausen and Saint Louis junior right-hander Ryan Hackman were the other finalists for the Roger Clemens Award.

The Golden Spikes Award has been presented to the best amateur baseball player in the United States since 1978, with Arizona State third baseman Bob Horner as its inaugural recipient. The Roger Clemens Award has been presented to the top NCAA Division I college baseball pitcher over the course of a season since 2004, with Jered Weaver first taking home the honor. Stolp joins Weaver as the only pitchers to win both awards.

Sarver, who captured the John D. Diesing Sr. Award after Oklahoma State’s two-game sweep of Michigan in the College World Series, was the runner-up for the Golden Spikes Award after posting a .424 batting average, .535 on-base percentage, and .727 slugging percentage with 11 homeruns, 53 runs batted in, 87 hits, and 28 stolen bases.

Clausen had a 14-4 record with a 1.67 earned run average and 137 strikeouts in 156.0 innings pitched as the Roger Clemens Award runner-up. Hackman, the third-place finisher, posted an 11-3 record with 2.29 earned run average and 129 strikeouts.

The publication Baseball America also bestowed its yearly awards over the weekend, with Long Beach State sophomore second baseman Jason McClure (.412/.538/.791, 15 HR, 57 RBI, 47 R, 12 SB, 73 H) taking home Offensive Player of the Year and South Carolina centerfielder Kris Grissom (.435/.534/.702, 8 HR, 40 RBI, 55 R, 26 SB, 83 H) earning Freshman of the Year.

Oklahoma State captured its second College World Series title in program history with a two-game sweep of Michigan

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- For the first time in nearly 50 years, Oklahoma State is on top of the college baseball world.

The Cowboys took home their second College World Series championship and first since 1959, defeating Michigan in the finals in two games. OSU had a 4-0 lead through four innings in both games, tacking on an insurance run in the ninth inning of Game 1 to win 5-1, then holding off a late Wolverine ninth-inning rally to win Game 2, 4-3.

Oklahoma State sophomore centerfielder Darwin Sarver collected the John D. Diesing Sr. Award for the most outstanding player of the College World Series. Sarver, the runner-up for the Golden Spikes Award, had two homeruns and 10 runs batted in over the Cowboys’ five games, and posted a slash line of .471/.609/.941.

OSU didn’t lose a game in Omaha, winning its first against Furman, 4-3, in 10 innings. The Cowboys then defeated North Carolina State, 6-4, in their second game and routed the Wolfpack two days later, 17-4, to reach the final.

Michigan had a tougher road to the final, first splitting its first two games with a 9-4 win over San Jose State and a 7-3 defeat to Oregon State. The Wolverines beat the Spartans in an elimination game, 9-0, before taking down the Beavers with 4-3 and 6-2 victories.

Despite Michigan’s wins over Oregon State, the Beavers took the No. 2 spot in the final Baseball America Top 25 Media Poll. Oklahoma State was ranked first, Michigan came in at third, and Florida and College of Charleston were slotted fourth and fifth, respectively.

CMU Baseball Signs Eight to Scholarships, Adds Three Walk-Ons
The Tartans recruiting class is highlighted by Ohio infielder Aramis Baker, the 158th ranked prospect according to Baseball America

by Hayden Issacs, Carnegie Mellon sports reporter

PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Carnegie Mellon announced its incoming freshmen from the Class of 2007, a group that includes Baseball America’s 158th ranked prospect, eight players to receive athletic scholarship money, and three walk-ons.

Aramis Baker, a shortstop from Rock Hill High School in Ironton, Ohio, is the crown jewel of the class as he was bestowed with the aforementioned No. 158 ranking. He hit .426 for the Redmen with seven homeruns and 23 stolen bases, and was named to the All-State team.

Baker is one of six incoming scholarship freshmen that are position players, joining catcher Cam Cockrell (Metairie, La. / East Jefferson HS), outfielder Kurt Branson (Wister, Okla. / Wister HS), first baseman/pitcher Dan Gregg (Millport, Ala. / South Lamar HS), third baseman Rod Stange (Montreal, Quebec / Édouard Montpetit College), and outfielder Scott Linton (Islesboro, Maine / Islesboro HS).

Two incoming scholarship freshmen are pitchers in right-handers Travis Hnytka (Albany, N.Y. / Albany HS) and Matt Seibel (Lancaster, Calif. / Paraclete HS). Hnytka should carve out a rotation spot right away, while Seibel will receive work out of the bullpen as a freshman. The two can also play infield spots – Hnytka at second base, Seibel at first base – and Dan Gregg, primarily a first baseman, can pitch as a southpaw reliever.

CMU also announced the addition of three local freshman walk-on players – left-handed pitcher Carlos Rose (Allison Park, Pa. / Hampton HS), infielder Nick Klosowski (New Stanton, Pa. / Hempfield Area HS), and outfielder Lamont Mairena (New Castle, Pa. / New Castle HS).
