Banks, Schultz Named to Horizon League All-Tournament Team
    Indianapolis -- Youngstown State juniors Justin Banks and Charles Schultz were named to the Horizon League All-Tournament Team, league director of communications Will Roleson announced.
    Banks was named to the team and earned the tournament's most valuable player award last season while Schultz was named to team for the first time in his career.
    Banks hit .385 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBIs in three games for the Penguins. He went 2-for-5 and scored the winning run against UW-Milwaukee in YSU's first game, and he had one of YSU's four hits against the Flames in game two. He hit two doubles and had two RBIs in YSU's 12-10 loss to the Panthers on Saturday. He finished the season as the team's leading hitter with a .356 average.
    Schultz caught fire at the end of the tournament, hitting safely in five of his last six at bats to finish the tournament with a .364 average. After being held hitless in game one, he singled in the eighth inning against the Flames. He then went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and scored two runs against the Panthers in game three. Schultz finished as the team-leader in RBIs with 38 and hit .282 on the campaign.
    UIC and UW-Milwaukee each landed four members on the All-Tournament Team. UIC's Ryan Zink was named the tournament's MVP, throwing a four-hit shutout against the Penguins on Friday and picking up the save in the Flames' 9-6 win in the championship game.
