Heath, Snyder & Searer Honored With Postseason Big Ten Baseball Awards
Nittany Lions place a pair on All-Conference and All-Freshman Teams.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Following an action-packed 2010 season, three Penn State baseball players were honored with postseason Big Ten awards, as announced at the Big Ten banquet on Tuesday evening. Junior catcher Ben Heath (Huntersville, N.C.) was named First Team All-Big Ten while freshman outfielder Steve Snyder (West Chester, Pa.) earned third team laurels. Both Snyder and redshirt freshman outfielder Elliot Searer (Lewistown, Pa.) also cracked the All-Freshman Squad.
Heath is Penn State’s first First-Team honoree since pitcher Drew O’Neil in 2008. He marks the Lions’ first positional player to earn first team laurels since catcher Chris Netwell in 2001.
Senior Louie Picconi (North Merrick, N.Y.) was also recognized on Tuesday as the team’s sportsmanship honoree.
