YORK, PA – York College junior first baseman Gretchen Barstad has earned NFCA All-Region V honors as announced by the organization on Friday afternoon.

Barstad earned third team honors after a strong junior campaign in which she led the Spartans in a number of different categories. Barstad is now a two-time All-Region V selection for the Spartans.

She finished the year with an active seven-game hit streak after having an eight game streak earlier in the year. Barstad tied for the team-lead with eight multi-RBI games including a season high five RBI against LeTourneau on March 8.

Barstad was named to the MAC All-Commonwealth for the season straight year eight days ago and her name was all over the MAC Comonwealth statistical leaders. Barstad finished the year fifth in the league in batting average, fifth in OPS, tenth in doubles, fifth in home runs, 12^th in RBI, fifth in total bases (73), and fifth in slugging percentage.
