SAN MARCOS, Texas (5/29/16) – Arkansas State's Ty White and Tony Ortiz were named to the 2016 Sun Belt Conference All-Tournament Baseball Team, which was announced at the conclusion of Sunday's championship game at Bobcat Ballpark in San Marcos, Texas.

White, a native of Gladstone, Mo., had a fantastic tournament with a .529 batting average (9-for-17) and led the team in hits (9), runs (8), total bases (15), triples (3), and steals (2). The senior outfielder posted a .882 slugging percentage, reached base at a .600 clip, and drove in four runs. The showing at the tournament saw him end the season with the team's highest batting average at .318, most hits with 68, most runs scored with 43, and most steals with 12.

Additionally, White led the team with six triples, which was tied with J.C. Smithers (1949), Mack Cothern (1950), and Criss McGuire (1967) for third most in a single season in school history. His eight career triples also ranks in a tie for fourth most with Michael Faulkner.

A native of Olympia, Wash., Ortiz led the team with a .538 batting average (7-for-13) during the SBC Tournament and saw his season average raise from .197 at the end of the regular season to .231. The freshman led the team with four extra-base hits during the competition including two doubles, a triple, and his first career home run. He led the team with a 1.077 slugging percentage and on-base percentage of .625.

Additionally, the outfielder, who also logged time at first time and on the mound during the regular season, tied for the team lead in RBI with five during the tournament. Ortiz also had two assists from left field, including throwing a runner out at the plate during the 13-12 win over Troy.

The Red Wolves finished their season at 29-29 after winning nine of their last 13 contests and won two games in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament for the seventh consecutive season, the only school in the league to accomplish that feat.
