SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Craig Shepherd capped his first season for the University of Evansville in impressive fashion as the freshman shortstop was named to the Missouri Valley Conference All-Tournament team for his performances over UE's three-game stay in the event last week.
Shepherd, a native of Jasper, went 5-for-9 over the three games, and with a pair or hit-by-pitches and a walk to his name, he reached base safely eight times for a .667 on-base percentage. He also doubled twice, scored five runs and knocked in two more.
Shepherd was especially key to the Aces in big moments, going 2-for-3 with runners in scoring position.
