LOUISVILLE, Ky. – For the first time in their careers, Illinois State softball's Morgan Day and Mack Leonard have each earned a spot on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association's All-Mideast Region Second Team, the NFCA announced on Thursday.
The Redbirds switched from the Great Lakes Region to Mideast Region in 2009 and have placed at least one student-athlete on an all-region squad in six of the last 10 seasons. There were no all-region honors handed out in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. The duo's selection to the second team is the highest placement for a Redbird since 2017.
