PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (May 14, 2015) - On Thursday, LIU Post sophomore pitcher Jake DeCarli (Higganum, Conn.) was named to the 2015 Daktronics/Division II Conference Commissioners Association Baseball East All-Region first team.

Earlier this week, DeCarli was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All-East Region first team.

DeCarli, the 2015 East Coast Conference Pitcher of the Year, All-ECC and National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All-East Region first-team honoree, was dominant on the hill for the green and gold this season. In 10 starts that spanned 71.0 innings pitched, he put together a 6-1 record to go along with a minuscule 0.76 earned run average. His ERA led the ECC and ranks third nationally in Division II, while his win total was good for fourth in the conference. DeCarli was even better in ECC play, finishing with an unblemished 4-0 mark and a 0.79 ERA during the regular season. On the year, he added 60 strikeouts and held hitters to a stingy .148 batting average against. DeCarli also ranks third in Division II with 4.44 hits allowed per nine innings and fourth with a 0.80 WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched). In DeCarli's start in the 2015 ECC Baseball Championships, he threw a five-hit, complete-game shutout to advance the Pioneers to the winners bracket of the tournament.

This marks the first time since 2012 that an LIU Post pitcher has been named to the Daktronics All-East Region squad. That year, junior Bo Budkevics (Deer Park, N.Y.) was a second-team selection afer going 7-4 with a 1.91 ERA through 14 appearances and 10 starts.  He totaled a team-high 85 innings, striking out 78 while batters hit just .196 against him.
