JACKSON – Headlined by sophomore shortstop LeeMarcus Boyd and freshman right-hander Jarod Wright, Northwest had eight players selected to the 2016 All-MACJC Baseball Team announced Monday morning by the conference office.

Awards are nominated and voted on by the conference's 15 head baseball coaches.

After earning second team all-conference honors as a freshman, Boyd was named to the first team this season after hitting .339 with 14 doubles, three home runs, 24 RBIs and 21 stolen bases in addition to a .930 fielding percentage in 242 chances. He reached base in all 49 of his starts this season, ending his career with an unofficial school record 64-game reached base streak.

The USM signee ends his Ranger career first in at-bats (371) and assists (278), third in sacrifice hits (15), fourth in hits (124) and doubles (22), sixth in stolen bases (39) and eighth in runs scored (88). He hit .334 in 98 career games played, third-most in school history.

Wright joined Boyd on the first team and was 5-6 with a 3.05 ERA and three complete games in 15 appearances. He struck out a team-high 65 batters against 27 walks in a team-high 80.1 innings pitched, logging eight quality starts during the year.

Second team all-conference selections went to outfielders Hunter Wilson and Aaron Campbell, infielders David Herrington and Ryan Skalnik and pitchers Colt Smith and J.R. Miller.

Wilson led the Rangers in hits (66) and sacrifice hits (12) on the year, finishing with a .357 batting average, six doubles, 34 runs scored, 28 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. He had a team-high 23-game hit streak during the year and finished with 16 multi-hit games.
