Trojans Set New Records: A Historic Season for Burlington's Baseball Team

The baseball season in Burlington, North Carolina, was notable for the Trojans as they participated in the conference tournament for the first time. The team lost their first game to Louisburg College and was later eliminated after a loss to Catawba Valley Community College. They finished the season with 27 wins and 30 losses overall, and a conference record of 17-18, achieving their highest number of victories in both categories in the program's history.

The Trojans set new school records in several statistical categories including putouts, assists, runs, hits, triples, home runs, RBIs, and walks. Sophomore Jaylon Woodley from Courtland, VA, broke individual records for hits, walks, assists, runs, and stolen bases. His efforts, along with those from other key players, contributed to significant personal and team development.

Caleb Holland from Fayetteville, NC, led the team in innings pitched and maintained the lowest ERA, which was the best in the Region 10 DII Baseball conference for most of the season. He also played a key role as a hitter. Drew Canody, despite an injury ending his season early, achieved a batting average of .456 and set a new school record for home runs.

Other notable contributions came from Brett Alvis, who led with 60 strikeouts, and players like Benjamin Rohrbach, Tanner McNeal, Robert Willis, and Matthew Roberts, each pitching over 30 innings. Braylan Bull and Wilmer Cuevas handled catching duties and led in putouts.
