Flushing, N.Y. – Le Moyne junior left-handed starting pitcher Max Parker (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius) and freshman left fielder/third baseman Adam Sullivan (Syracuse, N.Y./Marcellus) have been named to the 2023 Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) All-East Region Baseball Second Team due to their outstanding play during the 2023 campaign.

Parker earned one of the four starting pitcher spots on the second team, while Sullivan was placed in the utility spot.

Both players were previously named to the NE10 All-Conference First Team, and Parker was subsequently placed on the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) All-East Region Second Team.

Parker compiled a 2.53 ERA and a 4-2 record in eight starts and 53.1 innings pitched during the regular season. In a non-conference East Region matchup against Saint Thomas Aquinas on February 24, Parker went 7.0 innings and allowed just two hits, one run and two walks with 11 strikeouts. During a seven-inning non-conference battle against Franklin Pierce at home on April 2, Parker tossed a two-hit complete game with just one walk and eight strikeouts as the 'Phins claimed a 3-0 win.

During his four starts against Northeast-10 Conference Southwest Division opponents, Parker established a league-best 1.55 earned run average with a 2-1 record and a 1.28 WHIP in 29.0 innings pitched. The junior lefty recorded 22 strikeouts during conference play and allowed just seven runs in total during league games.

Parker has tossed a team-high 66.1 innings in 2023 with 58 strikeouts and just 16 walks. Opposing batters are hitting .233 against Parker so far this season.

Parker's first NE10 start, and his first and only conference loss, came against the Southern Connecticut State University Owls on April 7. Parker went 6.0 innings during the seven-inning contest and held the Owls to just five hits, zero earned runs and two walks with four strikeouts. SCSU scored two unearned runs against Parker and came away with a 2-1 win.

The Manlius native threw 8.0 shutout innings with zero walks and six strikeouts during a conference battle against The College of Saint Rose Golden Knights on April 15, which resulted in a 13-0 win for the 'Phins.

During Le Moyne's four-game series sweep at Pace, Parker earned a complete-game victory during game one of the series. Parker tossed all 9.0 innings against the Setters and held them to three runs as the Dolphins claimed a 7-3 win.

As the Dolphins went 15-5 during the month of April, Sullivan slashed .333/.417/.603 with 16 runs scored, 21 hits (including four doubles, two triples and three home runs), 22 runs batted in, nine walks and five stolen bases.

Through 37 starts in his rookie campaign, the Syracuse native has a slash line of .317/.407/.548 with 31 runs, 40 hits (including 10 doubles, two triples and five home runs), 33 runs batted in and 17 walks drawn. Sullivan has played both left field and third base this season for the Dolphins, which made him eligible in the utility spot. Sullivan was named the Northeast-10 Conference Southwest Division Rookie Hitter of the Year and was also placed on the All-Conference First Team in the utility spot. Sullivan is the only freshman in the last 20 years of Le Moyne baseball to earn All-Region accolades.

During Le Moyne's four-game sweep of Saint Rose on April 15 and 16, Sullivan tallied a combined six hits, six runs scored, and nine runs batted in with two home runs (including a grand slam in the series finale).

As the Dolphins improved their winning streak to eight games with another conference sweep at Pace University, Sullivan provided six hits, three runs and seven RBI with three extra base hits during the four games in Pleasantville.

During Le Moyne's NCAA East Regional #2 title game against Goldey-Beacom, Sullivan contributed a single, a double and a run scored as the 'Phins claimed a 6-5 win to advance to the NCAA East Super Regional.

With Parker and Sullivan's selections to the 2023 All-Region Teams, head coach Scott Cassidy '98 and the Dolphins have had an all-region representative in each of the last four full seasons.

Current Le Moyne assistant coach Michael Smith '21, M '22 earned a spot on the NCBWA All-East Region Second Team in 2022, along with right-handed pitcher Jake Marshall. Andrew Taft was named to the First Team in 2019, and four members of the 2018 Le Moyne squad earned all-region honors, headlined by current big leaguer Josiah Gray who was named East Region Pitcher of the Year, which preceded his selection to the All-America First Team. Gray was also named a First Team All-East Region selection following the 2017 campaign. Cassidy himself earned all-region accolades following Le Moyne's 1998 campaign, after he was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Player of the Year.

The Dolphins, the third seed in the East Region, went 3-1 during East Regional #2 to earn a spot in the NCAA East Super Regional where they will meet the top seed in the East Region Southern New Hampshire University. The Penmen will host the three-game series on their home field in Hooksett, New Hampshire. The Dolphins and the Penmen are two of just 16 teams left standing in the NCAA DII Championship. Whoever wins two games during the East Super Regional on May 26 and 27 will advance to the eight-team Championship Round at the USA Baseball National Training Complex from June 3-10 for a chance to win a national championship.

The Penmen are ranked #10 in the May 28 NCBWA Top 25 Poll, while both sides are ranked in the most recent Collegiate Baseball top 30 Poll. The Dolphins are ranked #26 in the May 22 edition of the Collegiate Baseball Poll, while SNHU moved up to #13 in the poll.
