PORTLAND, Ore. --- Sophomore pitcher Christian Peters was selected to the West Coast Conference Baseball All-Academic Team and he's one of five Pilots total to earn academic honors, the league announced on Wednesday. Joining Peters are honorable mention selections Cody Hawken, Ryan Hoogerwerf, Matt Kelly, and Cameron Richman.

This is the first all-academic honor for Peters, a right-hander out of Centralia, Wash. A business major with a cumulative GPA of 3.78, Peters was solid out of the bullpen this season, posting a 2-0 record. He made 11 appearances and worked 19.2 innings, compiling 19 strikeouts.
