Alumni Update - Zach Carlino (Central Catholic)

Mount Union sophomore Zach Carlino, a Central Catholic High School graduate, was a second-team selection in baseball on the All-Mideast Region team by D3baseball.com and a first-team All-Ohio Athletic Conference pick. Carlino was honored as a utility player.

Carlino started 40 games and played first base, third base, designated hitter and pitcher. On the mound, he had a 6-2 record with a 3.59 earned run average with two complete games, a save and 29 strikeouts.

He pitched regular season victories against #1 Marietta, Heidelberg and John Carroll -- each of the teams that made the OAC Tournament. At the plate, he hit .306 with five doubles and was third on the team with 27 RBI.

Carlino was an All-OAC honorable mention selection at first base a year ago.

Mount Union set a school record for wins going 28-15 overall and its second place finish in the OAC was the best regular season finish in the conference since 1993.
