This is the second time Waters has appeared on the All-GLIAC list. In 2003 he was an honorable mention choice.

Sophomore pitcher-designated hitter Josh Davidson (Lexington, OH) and sophomore first baseman Ron Oneson (London, ONT/Saunders Secondary School) were included on the GLIAC honorable mention chart.

Davidson had a 6-4 record with a team-high seven saves. He sported a team-best 1.84 ERA while working 73.1 innings. Davidson walked just 10 batters and had 70 strikeouts. At the plate, he hit .281 with one homer and 20 RBI. Davidson was a second team pick as a pitcher last season and was the GLIAC’s freshman of the year.

This is the second consecutive year Oneson has been named to the honorable mention list. He hit .353 in 48 games. Oneson had 10 doubles and drove in a team-high 37 runs.
