EVANSVILLE, Ind. – On the heels of an historic season at the University of Evansville this past spring, UE graduate outfielder Eric Roberts (Hamilton, Ohio/Hamilton) has been voted to the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings All-Midwest First Team in a vote of the region's head coaches. Roberts is now a finalist for ABCA/Rawlings All-America honors.
Roberts became the first player in UE baseball history and just the second player in the last 30 seasons in Missouri Valley Conference history to record over 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in the same season this year, as he hit a Valley-best 21 home runs, and stole a career-best 20 bases.
