Three Earn All-Ivy Honors for Big Green Baseball

HANOVER, N.H. — The Ivy League announced its All-Ivy League teams and award winners today, which included Dartmouth second baseman Peter O'Toole and outfielder Jackson Hower earning honorable mention and pitcher Devin Milberg being named to the Academic All-Ivy League squad.

O'Toole, a senior from Saratoga Springs, worked his way into the lineup at second base and ended up second on the team in batting while leading the club with 10 doubles over 33 games, starting 30. The 6-3, 210-pound infielder hit .269 with a .383 on-base percentage in conference games alone, ranking second on the squad in each category, and also had six multi-hit games in league play while collecting 10 RBIs. In 160 career at-bats, O'Toole recorded 11 doubles, drove in 17 runs and belted one home run, that coming in his final collegiate game at Sacred Heart this past weekend.

A 6-4, 210-pound outfielder from Erie, Pennsylvania, Hower was the Big Green's top hitter in conference play with a .277 average, .431 slugging percentage, four doubles and two long balls. He was also one of the Ivy League's top defensive outfielders, leading the loop with seven outfield assists and handling 86 chances without an error over the entire season. Two of his most memorable games for the season came in conference play, going 4-for-4 in the series finale against Princeton and belting both of his home runs in the second game against Harvard.

Milberg, a 6-1, 190-pound junior from New York City, boasts a 3.78 GPA as an economics major to earn his spot on the Academic All-Ivy Team. The southpaw tossed 26.0 innings on the year over 11 appearances with five starts, going 0-3 with a 4.50 ERA — lowest on the team with a minimum of 10 innings — while striking out 24 and holding opposing batters to a .263 average. His best outing was a five-inning, scoreless start against Yale shortly after joining the rotation, and his strikeout rate of 8.3 per nine innings ranked second on the squad. Against the Ancient Eight, Milberg had a 4.03 ERA over 22.1 innings, but as a starting pitcher that ERA dropped to 1.59 over 17.0 innings in conference play.

The league's top awards went to Columbia shortstop Andy Blake as the Player of the Year, Penn right-hander Ryan Dromboski as the Pitcher of the Year, Brown designated hitter Mika Petersen as the Rookie of the Year and Penn's John Yurkow as the Coach of the Year after leading the Quakers to the conference crown and the number-one seed for this weekend's Ivy League Tournament that begins tomorrow in Philadelphia.
