Seven Keystone players earn All-Conference honors in baseball
La Plume, PA (5-5-08) - The Keystone College baseball team dominated the post season awards in the North Eastern Athletic Conference, placing seven on the First Team, including the Pitcher and Player of the Year.

Joining the duo on the first team were: Yadiel lanzo (pitcher), Ben Fish (first base), Tim Schemel (shortstop), Jayson Rohena (outfield), and Drew Boandl (outfield).
Gomez, who just picked up Athlete of the Year honors at Keystone earlier in the week, is a junior from Rio Grande, PR.

His 14 doubles rank as second best on the team, while his three triples are third best. Gomez led the team in on-base percentage (.535), while proving he is a tough out, striking out only 11 times all year.
Hanley, a sophomore from South Plainfield, NJ, led all Keystone hurlers with a perfect 6-0 mark. He appeared in nine games compiling an earned run average of 4.21 in 36.1 innings of work. Hanley struck out 44, tops on the Giants' staff. He allowed less than a hit an inning (34), while holding opponents to a .241 batting average.
Lanzo joins his mound mate as a First Team selection for 2008. Lanzo, a junior from Loiza, PR, compiled a record of 6-2 with a 4.66 earned run average. He worked 46.1 innings, while appearing in 12 games. He struck out 38, second best on the squad, while recording one save.
Fish, a junior from Muncy, PA, batted .364 (47-129) on the season, serving as the team's first baseman. On the year he drove in 34 runs, while scoring 32. His hit total included six doubles, five home runs and a triple. Also, his .973 fielding percentage was tops on the team.
Schemel, a senior from Tunkhannock, PA, batted .434 (56-129) on the year. Serving as the team's table setter from the leadoff position, the shortstop's hit total was second best on the team, while his 53 runs scored were a team best. He recorded 12 doubles on the year, with nine home runs and four triples.
Rohena, a junior from Rio Grande, PR, was the team's second leading hitter coming in at .434 (53-122). The Giants' right-fielder scored 42 runs and knocked in 36. He collected nine doubles, five triples and two home runs, while swiping 15 bases in 16 attempts.
Boandl, a junior from Moscow, PA, finished the season batting .398 (41-103). The speedy outfielder led the team with 21 stolen bases, while compiling a .508 on-base percentage, second best on the team. He scored 34 runs and knocked in 18, while compiling five doubles, two triples and one home run.
