Earlier this week, shortstop Kyle Eddington was named to the 2026 watch list for the Brooks Wallace Award, which was released Wednesday by the College Baseball Foundation. 

The award honors the nation's top shortstop and will be presented by the College Baseball Foundation later this year. It is named for former Texas Tech shortstop Brooks Wallace, who played for the Red Raiders from 1977 to 1980. Wallace died of leukemia at the age of 27.

The top 100 shortstops in the country were announced Wednesday, led by several players putting up tremendous offensive numbers. But because the award is reflective of more than just offense, there are numerous players putting up solid defensive numbers as well.

Also, freshman Kailen Hackmann has been named the America East Pitcher of the Week, the Conference announced on Tuesday morning.

Hackmann entered in relief with the Dawgs down 9-0 and proceeded to go 3.0 hitless innings while striking out eight, and that stemmed the tide to allow UMBC to comeback for a 10-9 victory.

Dylan Melton had a double, while Anthony Mascuilli and Kyle Eddington also had singles for the Retrievers. Jesiah Carpenter, Jacob Bagania and Danny Orr all drew walks, as well.

It remained 3-2 until the bottom of the seventh when Derek Paris was hit by a pitch and Brooks Henderson followed with a single. Eddington laid down a bunt, but the Hawks third baseman threw the ball away allowing pinch-runner Luke Buscaglia to score. UMBC attempted to score the winning run on the same play, but the runner was thrown out at the plate.
