AVON, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University baseball student-athlete Drew Beckner landed a spot on the 2025 MAC Baseball Championship Team, the conference announced Sunday, May 25.
Beckner (Westerville, Ohio/Big Walnut/Charleston) earned the accolade after recording a tournament-high eight strikeouts in Eastern's 10-7 extra-innings upset win over the four seed, Bowling Green State University, May 22, a win that punched the Eagles' ticket to the second round and marked their first postseason victory since 2017.
Besides the strikeouts, Beckner put together a gritty start while battling inclement weather. He went six innings and allowed three runs off five hits while his pitch count well exceeded the triple-digit mark, leading EMU to its first postseason upset since it upset No.
