BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University baseball team saw three student-athletes named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team Tuesday, June 3. Junior pitchers Will Davidsmeier (Virginia, Ill.-Beardstown), Cole Shamhart (Oak Park, Ill.-Oak Park River Forest), and Jake Pullam (Palatine, Ill.-Palatine) pulled in the honors. Davidsmeier grabs the award for the second straight season, while Shamhart and Pullam are first-time awardees.

Making 15 appearances on the mound, Shamhart logged 46.2 innings for the Titans. He struckout 29 and carried a 1-2 record. He was a steady presence out of the bullpen in the back half of the year, throwing two hitless frames in a lopsided win over Blackburn, April 29.

Pullam, a College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Pitcher of the Year candidate, led the Titans with a 2.65 earned run average. He posted a 7-0 record over 12 appearances, including 10 starts, and fanned 53 over 57.2 innings of work. He held opponents to a .223 batting average and added two saves alongside a 1.16 WHIP.
