2009 All-Ping!Baseball Freshman Teams CHICAGO- UIC true freshman catcher Nathan Orf (Wentzville, Mo./Francis Howell H.S.) was named to the 2009 All-Ping!Baseball Freshman Third Team that was unveiled on Thursday, June 11. Orf, who was also named to the 2009 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American Baseball Team chosen by Collegiate Baseball last week, hit .429 (48-for-112) with 10 doubles and 17 RBI in 36 total games that included 27 starts. A 2009 All-Horizon League Second Team selection and League All-Newcomer Team pick, Orf had 12 multi-hit games and led the team with four games of four hits or more. He hit .750 (6-for-8) with two doubles and a 5-for-5 game during the 2009 Horizon League Baseball Championship. This is the second straight season that a UIC rookie has garnered the double-whammy of freshman honors from Collegiate Baseball and Ping!Baseball. Outfielder Steve McGuiggan earned both accolades last season. Ping!Baseball is one of the country's premier sources for national collegiate baseball coverage and can be accessed at pingbaseball.com.
