Gally Player Honored

A Gallaudet outfielder has been named to the NCAA Division III All-American baseball third team. Billy Bissell is a red-shirt freshman, the only freshman on any of the three All-American teams and is believed to be the first player to ever garner All-American honors in baseball while at Gallaudet. He led the Bison to its best season, breaking a school record of 16 wins in a season, set more than 100 years ago. The team had a 18-24 this season. Bissell was also named the NEAC West Division Player of the Year.
