Bercume Named to NCBWA All-Region Team, Selected to NEIBA All-Star Game

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Jeff Bercume (Leicester, MA) was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association first-team all-region and was selected to play in the annual NEIBA All-Star game.

The 2009 New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) College All-Star game will be played on Thursday June 4 at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton at 7 p.m. Bercume will represent a College squad consisting of All-New England Division II players and a New England Division III Senior All-Star team. They will take on the University team of All-New England Division I All-Stars that owns the all-time series 21-11-1, though the College team has won two straight.

Last week, Bercume was named a first-team all-east region selection by the Division II baseball coaches. By virtue of being a first-team honoree, Bercume’s name will appear on the All-American ballot.

Also a Northeast-10 first-team selection, Bercume was fourth in the conference with a .385 batting average, while finishing second with 23 steals. He added five homers, 46 RBIs, and a .447 on-base percentage, all tops on the Warriors. The centerfielder departs the program with 230 hits, most in school history, while earning three first-team all-conference selections.
