Four Baseball Players Named to ABCA/Rawlings All-South Region Teams

HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- The 2024 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Div. I All-Region South Teams were announced, Tuesday, and includes Southern Miss designated hitter Slade Wilks (Columbia, Miss.) to the first team, along with Golden Eagle outfielder Dalton McIntyre (Jackson, Tenn.), starting pitcher Billy Oldham (Brookfield, Conn.) and relief pitcher Colby Allen (Louisville, Miss.) earning second-team honors.

The teams are voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association and the process is led by the ABCA NCAA Div. I All-America & Coach of the Year Committee.

Wilks finished his final collegiate season with a .336 batting average which included 20 doubles, a triple, 14 home runs and 69 RBI. His home run and RBI numbers were team highs, while his doubles total tied for team best. His season also included a 36-game hitting streak, which ranks second-best in the history of the school.

McIntyre led the squad in batting average with a .388 average with 12 doubles, a triple and two home runs with 34 RBI. The Golden Eagle leadoff hitter and centerfielder posted 30 infield hits and helped the Golden Eagles to a 29-6 record when he scored at least once in a game during the year.

On the mound, Oldham collected a 7-3 record with a 4.48 earned run average. He led the squad in strikeouts with 97, while walking just 28 and allowing opponents to a .234 batting average. He threw one of the team's complete games during the season.

Allen, who appeared in 27 games with 25 of those in relief, posted a 10-2 record with a team-high seven saves. He registered 82 strikeouts and just 18 walks in 65 1/3 innings and allowed opponents to a .242 batting average. Allen is the first primary reliever to win 10 games in a season since Nick Sandlin did it in 2017.

The ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Div. I All-America teams will be announced the morning of Friday, June 14 prior to the start of the 2024 NCAA Div. I College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. First Team All-Region selections are eligible for All-America honors.
