MIDDLETOWN, Pa. – A pair of Penn State Harrisburg baseball players in Bret Williams and Dallas Hite have earned all-America honors from D3baseball.com.

Williams was named to the D3baseball.com All-America First Team, while Hite was selected to the all-America fourth team. For Williams, it is the third first-team all-America honor of his career after he earned the same recognition from both D3baseball.com and the ABCA/Rawlings in 2019.

The all-America honor is the latest in a long line of accolades garnered by Williams this spring. The senior was named the Mid-Atlantic Regional Player of the Year by both D3baseball.com and the ABCA/Rawlings after he secured first-team all-region status from each organization. The outfielder was also tabbed the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) Player of the Year after earning a spot on the all-conference first team. He recently completed his collegiate career as one of the most successful players in NCAA Division III history, ranking second all-time in total bases (548), tied for fourth all-time in home runs (63), fifth all-time in runs batted in (250), tied for fifth all-time in hits (290), and sixth all-time in runs scored (232). His 43 walks this season are the second-most in the nation, while his 17 homers and 66 RBI are fourth-best among Division III players. The Mount Carmel, Pa. native slashed an outstanding .450/.586/.915 with a stellar 1.501 OPS, with both his slugging and on-base percentages ranking top-five in the country. Williams racked up 58 hits, including seven doubles and a triple, 118 total bases, 55 runs, and 16 stolen bases. He was named to the D3baseball.com Team of the Week three times this spring (3/23, 4/13, 5/11) and was tabbed the NEAC Player of the Week in mid-April (4/12). Thanks to his impressive postseason play, he was named the NEAC Championship Tournament Most Valuable Player (MVP) last month.

For Hite, the all-America honor is the first of his career. He turned in a breakout junior campaign this spring that saw him earn first-team all-region recognition from both D3baseball.com and the ABCA/Rawlings. He was also named to the NEAC All-Conference First Team for his efforts this season. The outfielder slashed .441/.497/.685 with a 1.182 OPS while racking up a team-high 63 hits, including seven long balls, 10 doubles, and a pair of triples. In addition to his 29 RBI and 47 runs scored, the Lilly, Pa. native was a terror on the base paths, with his 21 stolen bases ranking him 36th among Division III players. Hite's play seemingly got stronger as the season wore on and he earned conference player of the week honors in early May (5/3).

In addition to their individual accomplishments, the pair helped lead Penn State Harrisburg to a conference championship, its second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, eight wins against nationally and regionally-ranked opponents, and an NCAA Tournament victory over No. 24 Texas Lutheran this season.
