Baseball landed a pair of rookies on the Atlantic 10 all-championship team in pitcher-second baseman double threat Robbie Metz and catcher Brandon Chapman, the league announced Saturday.
Metz was 4-13 at the plate in the championship, where GW was eliminated Friday by Davidson but won two games in the tournament for the first time since 2006, and tossed 2.2 innings in GW’s 7-2 comeback win over Richmond as the starter Friday morning. He gave up six hits and two runs.
Chapman was 5-17 at the plate and batted in six runs over the course of the tournament.
The Colonials fell to Richmond 4-1 in the opening game of the tournament before beating Fordham 11-5 Wednesday night facing elimination. GW then won the rematch with the Spiders before falling to Davidson 2-1, thereby ending their run for the A-10 title.
VCU won the A-10 championship game 5-3 over Rhode Island on Saturday.
