Landon Choboy of Mount Olive and Tanner Halvorson of Barton Collect NCBWA Southeast Region Weekly Honors
WINGATE, N.C. – Mount Olive graduate student outfielder Landon Choboy has been named the Southeast Region Player of the Week and Barton junior left-hander Tanner Halvorson has been tabbed as the region Pitcher of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).
The Conference Carolinas Tournament MVP, Choboy went 10-for-23 at the plate with five homers and 21 RBIs, leading the Trojans to the tournament title. He had three separate three-hit games, while driving in four runs in three games to go along with a nine-RBI effort in a single game. Choboy was 3-for-5 with an RBI in the FMU win, followed by a 3-for-4 effort with a homer and four more RBIs against Belmont Abbey. He then blasted three homers and drove in nine runs against UNCP to send Mount Olive to the title game. Choboy connected on another homer, driving in four more runs in the championship game win over Francis Marion.
Halvorson tossed a complete-game six-hit shutout to lead Barton to a win over Belmont Abbey in the Conference Carolinas Tournament. The Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Year struck out eight without walking a batter, giving up just six singles in the 9-0 victory over the Crusaders.
Choboy and Halvorson are the ninth and 10th Conference Carolinas student-athletes to win an NCBWA regional honor this season.
