Warriors earn record seven slots on All-Landmark Conference squad

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming College baseball team earned a record seven slots on the All-Landmark Conference squad, with senior outfielder Danny DeLucas (Whittier, Calif./La Serna) and junior relief pitcher Joel Inman (Berlin, N.J./Eastern Regional) earning first-team honors, junior pitcher and utility position A.J. Llorente (Williamsport, Pa./Montoursville Area), junior third baseman Brody Lindsey (Monrovia, Md./DeMatha Catholic) and sophomore relief pitcher Grayson Rinker (Jersey Shore, Pa./Montoursville Area) earning second-team honors and sophomore designated hitter Eric MacCluen (Downingtown, Pa./Bishop Shanahan) earning honorable mention accolades.
 
DeLucas finished second in the Landmark Conference with a .410 (64-for-156) batting average, the highest for the Warriors since the program was reinstated in 2023. He was also second in the league in hits, as he recorded a school-record 64, and he finished 11th in the league with a school-record 38 runs scored. DeLucas also added 10 doubles, a homer and 24 RBI, plus the outfielder stole nine bases.
 
Inman served as Lycoming's setup man, finishing 16th in Division III and tops in the Landmark Conference with 22 appearances. He notched a 4-2 record and a 2.70 ERA in 30 innings, striking out 26 and walking just 11, as batters hit a paltry .225 off him.
 
Llorente earned second-team honors as both a pitcher and at the utility slot. On the mound, he went 4-2 with a 4.11 ERA. He tossed 57 innings, striking out 41 and allowing just 13 walks. He was even better in Landmark play, going 4-1 with a 2.58 ERA in 38.1 innings. He notched three quality starts throughout the season, including tossing 7 2/3 innings of three-hit shutout baseball against Drew. In the field, the designated hitter and first baseman finished third on the team with a .338 (49-for-145) average, hitting three homers and driving in 22. He scored 27 runs and also drilled seven doubles.
 
Lindsey, after his transfer from junior college powerhouse Frederick Community College, immediately became one of the top power hitters in the Landmark Conference. He led the league with a school-record 11 homers and finished sixth with a school-record 42 RBI, as he hit .325 (51-for-157) with eight doubles and 32 runs. He notched four four-RBI games and had a two-homer game against Marymount (Va.).
 
Rinker finished second in the Landmark Conference with a school-record eight saves, as the sophomore notched a 4.74 ERA. He appeared in 17 games, tossing 19 innings and striking out 18 and walking nine. Rinker's eight saves are tied for eighth in Division III.
 
The Warriors finished 21-21 overall and 12-12 in the Landmark Conference under third-year head coach Rick Oliveri, as the team won a school-record 21 games and appeared in the postseason for the first time, earning the No. 5 seed in the conference championship.
