GREENVILLE — East Carolina's slugging first baseman, Darryl Lawhorn, has
been named co-National Freshmen of the Year by Collegiate Baseball, the
newspaper announced on Wednesday.
Lawhorn becomes the first player in school history to earn National
Freshman of the Year honors and shares the award with right-handed pitcher
Phillip Humber and first baseman Vincent Sinisi, both of Rice University.
ECU relief pitcher Greg Bunn was also named to the 2002 Louisville
Slugger Freshmen All-American team, giving ECU its sixth and seventh
freshmen All-Americans since 1998.
Lawhorn, first team All-Conference USA and C-USA Freshman of the Year,
finished his rookie campaign with a .416 batting average, 19 home runs and
68 RBI, while establishing ECU single season records for hits (104) and
total bases (179). He is the first player in school history to collect 100
hits during a season.
Bunn recorded seven saves in 21 appearances this season with a 3.26 ERA,
setting a new ECU freshman record for saves in a season. He held opposing
hitters to a staff-low .159 batting average, striking out 25 batters in 19.1
innings pitched.
