FROSTBURG, Md. – As the Frostburg State baseball team prepares for its 2015 NCAA Championship opening round game tomorrow, a pair of senior pitchers learned they were named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings All-American teams, Thursday at the NCAA's championship banquet at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton, Wisc.
 
Starters Clayton Freimuth and Bennett Schiltz earned one of the game's top honors as the pair were named to the ABCA's second and third teams, respectively.
 
Freimuth collected his second All-American honor in as many as days after being selected to the D3baseball.com All-American First Team yesterday afternoon. The ABCA award is the fifth postseason honor for the left-hander that currently ranks sixth in the nation is strikeouts (97).
 
Freimuth is 13^th in the nation in strikeouts per nine innings (11.24), 18^th in fewest hits allowed per nine innings (5.91), 27^th in victories (8) and 34^th in ERA (1.62).
 
Freimuth boasts an 8-2 record, limited opponents to a .193 batting average, registered two saves and has sparingly surrendered just 14 earned runs in nearly 73 innings pitched. He tossed the country's first no-hitter in February and has allowed zero earned runs in three starts.
 
Like Freimuth, Schiltz garnered All-American honors as one of the nation's elite starting pitchers. He is 10^th in the country in wins (9), 18^th in ERA (1.45) and has held opponents to just 12 earned runs in 12 appearances (74.1 inn.).
 
Schiltz hasn't allowed a run in six starts this season and has struckout a total of 59 batters.
 
The Bobcats (41-7), the NCAA Mideast Regional Champions, are one of three teams in the 2015 World Series with two All-American honorees. The other two are Wisconsin-La Crosse and Ramapo, the Bobcats' opening game opponent tomorrow morning at 10:00 am.
