FULTON, MS – Sophomore left fielder Timothy Rowe of Hernando has been named to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Region 23 team after nearly doubling his output from his freshman season.

Rowe batted a team-high .418 with players with more than 100 at-bats on the season to rank second amongst all Region 23 selections.

The former Hernando High School standout also led the team the Indians with 115 total bases, 48 RBI, 46 runs, 16 doubles, 26 extra base hits, .465 on-base percentage, .676 slugging percentage, tied for a team-best two triples and finished the season second on the team with eight home runs in 170 at-bats.

During the course of the season, Rowe never went back-to-back games without recording a hit and only went six of 44 games played without recording at least one hit. He had a team-best 21 games with multiple hits.

Defensively, Rowe had a .979 fielding percentage with only one error in 48 chances.

He was named Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) Player of the week for his performances against Lake Land (IL) College and Williams Baptist (AR).

ICC finished 27-20 and advanced to the opening round of the MACJC playoffs before dropping a hard-fought Best of Three series two games to one at two-seeded Meridian Community College.

The NJCAA All-Region 23 team is selected by the head coaches of the MACJC and Region 23 member LSU-Eunice. Other members of this year's team include: Channing Well and Cole Prestegard of East Central Community College; Carlisle Koestler of Hinds Community College; Tanner Huddleston, Eric Hoard and Mason Irby of Jones County Junior College; Erin Baldwin, Nick Coomes, Zach Lafleur and Orynn Veillon of LSU-Eunice; Brian Lane of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.
