Gardner-Webb will begin its 2010 baseball campaign on Friday at Western Carolina, and saw three of its current players earn a spot on the preseason All-Big South Conference team selected by SEBaseball.com. SEBaseball.com, part of the Rivals network, selected Gardner-Webb eighth in its preseason poll, but placed redshirt senior catcher Ty Boyles (.309, 15 HR, 45 RBI) on its preseason first-team All-Big South squad. Senior third baseman/outfielder Kurt Fulginiti (.370, 8 HR, 39 RBI) and junior LHP Brett Stackhouse (5-6, 4.27 ERA) earned second-team All-Big South honors from the website. That trio will be part of a small nucleus of experienced talent returning for Coach Rusty Stroupe, but far from the only firepower available for the Diamond ‘Dogs in 2010. The eighth-place prediction mirrors that of the league’s head coaches, and doesn’t take into account several new faces who should make quite a splash in the Big South Conference this season. (more)
