Elliott becomes first Breds player named to Freshman All-America Team
Murray State shortstop Brandon Elliott put together one of the best freshman campaigns in Thoroughbred history and the efforts did not go unnoticed as the Plymouth, Ind., native was named to the 2010 Ping !Baseball Freshman All-America Third Team.
Elliott made his first start of the season in the team's seventh game, and ended the season by starting 43 of the last 44 games of the season. He finished the campaign by hitting .347 with 13 doubles, five triples, one home run, 25 RBIs and 41 runs scored. His five triples set a new freshman record, and were just one shy of tieing the all-time single-season mark at MSU.
He hit safely in all five games played in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, going 9-for-24 (.375) with a double, two triples, a home run and five RBIs. In the finale against Tennessee Tech, Elliott started his day delivering a one-out triple in his first at-bat, and followed it up with his first collegiate home run, a three-run shot to left field at Pringles Park.
Elliott hit safely in 36 of the 44 games in which he had a plate appearance, including 14 multi-hit games. He put together nine three-hit games, including collecting a trio of hits in all three games of the weekend sweep against Mid-Continent.
