BOISE, Idaho – When Casey Coberly reports back to Puget Sound for his senior year, he will bring a summer batting title with him. Coberly hit .387 in the Boise Summer League to capture the batting title and All-League honors.
 
At Puget Sound, Coberly is a starter in the Logger baseball team’s outfield as well as on the football team’s defensive line. On Aug. 17, he will report to the Loggers football camp as a team captain.
 
The Boise Summer League is a competitive, wood-bat league for collegiate players across the nation. The BSL featured five teams with student-athletes from NCAA Division I, II and III as well as NAIA and junior colleges.
 
Coberly’s batting title came after he hit at a .387 clip to end the year. He also led the league with 35 runs scored and ranked fifth with 17 stolen bases.
 
“Winning a batting title in a Collegiate League is special,” commented Loggers head coach Brian Billings. “Casey is a hard worker and this showcases the type of hitter that he has been for the Loggers over the last three years. I’m excited to have him back for one more season.”
 
Coberly was also one of five outfielders named to the All-League team when the season drew to a close last weekend. He played in 27 of 33 games for the Hampton Owls, who finished with a 15-18 overall record.
 
Coberly was a regular starter for the Loggers last year as they finished in second-place in the Northwest Conference. It was the Loggers best finish in the NWC since moving to NCAA Division III.
