ENMU's DeLaCruz named to regional squad

PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico junior Alex DeLaCruz received his third postseason team selection Wednesday.

This time, the Greyhound second baseman was named to the National College Baseball Writers Association All-South Central Region second team.

He was previously named to the All-Lone Star Conference First Team and All Region Second Team. He led the LSC in batting (.441), slugging percentage (.872), runs scored (65) and hits (78), and was second in on-base percentage (.522) and stolen bases (20).

DeLaCruz helped the Greyhounds to a 32-18 record and a 22-game improvement over the 2016 — the second-biggest one-season turnaround in Division II since 1998.
