SEC ANNOUNCES ANNUAL BASEBALL HONORS

[AUSportTalk 4]

Auburn outfielder Hunter Morris was selected

2010 SEC Baseball Player of the Year, Drew Pomeranz of Ole Miss was

named SEC Pitcher of the Year and Florida third baseman Austin Maddox

was named SEC Freshman of the Year by a vote of the league's 12 head

baseball coaches.  The coaches also tabbed Florida skipper Kevin

O'Sullivan SEC Coach of the Year. Cory Luckie of Auburn was named SEC

Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

    The Gators secured their 11th SEC crown in school history and

league-best 20th divisional championship by overcoming a pair of one-run

deficits and secured their first series win in Columbia since 1996 by

taking the first two matchups against the Gamecocks. Third-year skipper

Kevin O'Sullivan became the seventh head baseball coach at UF to bring

home the SEC's top prize and the Orange and Blue established a

single-season mark with their 22nd league triumph.
