More awards made their way toward Goldey-Beacom's Baseball team with junior Braden Kolmansberger (Lewisberry, PA) and senior Garrett Musey (Millville, NJ) each picked second team All-East Region by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Kolmansberger has made a huge splash this season in being named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Player of the Year. Coming up with big hits at the right time and consistently providing incredible play, the 2022 second team All-CACC pick this year broke the school record with a 28-game hitting streak during which he had 14 multi-hit contests, seven games with at least three hits, 11 doubles, one triple and 11 home runs.

Also included in that run was a five-hit, five-RBI contest March 22 at Jefferson and another five-RBI game April 9 vs. Holy Family in which he tied the school record with three home runs.

He is second in the CACC with 55 RBI, tied for first with 67 hits, second with 15 doubles and 13th with a .353 batting average. His RBI are one off the school record.

Kolmansberger also is first in school history with nine triples, second with 41 career doubles, second with 116 RBI, second with 325 assists, tied for second with 160 hits and sixth with 40 stolen bases.

Musey battled back from injury to take his rightful place in being named first team all-league, using his overwhelming power and clutch play once again to power the Lightning. This hardly is his first honor as the standout first baseman was named first team All-CACC, second team NCBWA All-East Region and CACC Rookie of the Year in 2021 in addition to being tabbed second team all-league in 2022.

His patience was on full display May 3 in game two of the CACC first-round series against Wilmington. In a 3-3 game, he drew a walk that eventually led him to scoring the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning on a double from senior Kyle Walker (Wilmington, DE).

Despite only playing 40 games this season, Musey is third in the league with 10 home runs, sixth with a .361 average, first with a .521 on-base percentage and 16th with 11 doubles. He is first in team history with 31 home runs, second with 630 putouts, third with 114 RBI and sixth with 127 hits.

Goldey-Beacom is in the NCAA Tournament for the third time in school history and on Thursday faced Post in its first game. The squad this year was ranked second in the East Region by the NCBWA for a majority of the season and as high as 22nd in the organization's national poll.
