Scherrman and Waco Named D3baseball.com All-Region Nine First Team

BLOOMINGTON, Minn.- Shortstop Matt Scherrman and starting pitcher LJ Waco represented UW-Oshkosh on D3baseball.com All-Region Nine First Team on Monday. This is the first time either have made an appearance on a D3baseball All-Region list.

Scherrman and Waco, with 40 and eight starts respectively, led the Titans to a 25-15 (15-9 WIAC) record, and a third-place finish in the WIAC Tournament.

Scherrman, from Wheaton, Ill., led the conference with five sacrifice flies and was second in hits (67), RBI (54) and doubles (17). The 2022 ABCA All-Region IX member is a four-year starter for the Titans. He also led the team with a .427 batting average and .720 slugging percentage.

A Cary, Ill. native, Waco struck out a league-leading 76 batters with a third-place earned run average of 2.21, a metric he led the WIAC in for much of the season. He was also in the top-three in wins (six), home runs allowed (three), walks (13) and runs allowed (19). On March 11, he struck out a career-best 13 batters in a neutral site win over DePauw. He earned his first All-WIAC honor with a First Team placement.
