Gendron was named an all-star with the Trojans of the St. Louis Metro Collegiate Baseball League. Gendron has appeared in a team-high seven games this season, mostly out of the bullpen and has logged 23.2 innings of work. Gendron also has the Trojans' lone save so far.
Sims has been on a tear for the Chiefs of the Ohio Valley League as he's hitting .333 and is second in the league with 12 home runs. Sims' 42 hits are tied for the most in the OVL while his 35 runs scored are a league-best mark and his 34 RBIs are tied for the second-most.
