Gettysburg’s Murphy named to ABCA Region 5 All-Defensive Team

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Robert Murphy (Berkeley Heights, N.J./Gov. Livingston), a junior on the Gettysburg baseball team, has been named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Region 5 All-Defensive Team, released on Thursday.

Murphy was a second-team all-region honoree last month and claims his first regional defensive honor.

The shortstop was named the Bullets' first Centennial Conference (CC) Gold Glove of the Year winner and was a honorable mention all-conference honoree. Starting all 41 games, he made just six errors in 172 fielding chances at shortstop for a .965 fielding percentage. He was also part of 15 double plays turned by the Bullets. Offensively, he paced the team with 38 walks while also recording 48 hits. His .397 average and .561 on-base percentage led the team. He added 24 RBIs and 45 runs scored while chipping in five doubles. He had 14 games with multiple hits.

Murphy is the third player in program history to earn regional all-defensive team honors and the first infielder to earn the honor. Centerfielders Sean McGee (2008) and Patrick O'Grady (2012) were the other two Gettysburg players to earn the recognition.

The Bullets finished the season with an overall record of 30-11 (9-9 CC) and earned the fifth seed in the CC tournament, falling to McDaniel in the opening round.
