Cargill named Honorable Mention All-American

Putting together an impressive first season for the Cowley College baseball team, redshirt freshman Zach Cargill was named an honorable mention All-American.

Cargill, a left-handed pitcher from Washington, Okla., went 8-1 with an earned run average just over 2.00. He struck out 60 batters in 61 innings.

“I am happy for Zach, the good thing about it is he has got another year with us,” Cowley head coach Dave Burroughs said. “He came a long way and put in a lot of hard work.”

Cargill helped anchor a Tiger pitching staff that was one of the best in the nation. Cowley finished the season at the JUCO World Series in Grand Junction, Co. During the season, Cowley captured its third straight Jayhawk East title and its second Region VI title in the past three years.

Burroughs expects even bigger things from Cargill next season.

“I hope he can go from an Honorable Mention All-American to a First-Team All-American next year,” Burroughs said. “That would benefit not only him but our team as well.”
