University of North Georgia baseball players Andres Perez and Parker Morrison were named to the NCBWA's All-Region Second Team as announced by the association Wednesday evening.

A sophomore from Duluth, Georgia, Perez earned second team All-Region honors as a catcher, hitting .330 with a Peach Belt best 23 homers to go along with 68 RBI and a .699 slugging percentage. He also caught 20 of the 28 base runners that tried to steal a base against him this season.

A redshirt freshman from Cumming, Georgia, Morrison is the second team All-Region reliever. He recorded 10 saves and a 4-2 record, posting a 2.01 ERA in 53.2 innings of work on the mound for UNG. He had 62 strikeouts against just 27 walks, with opponents hitting just .164 against him this season.

These two Nighthawks are the 10th and 11th UNG baseball players to be named NCBWA All-Region in program history.
