Standish, ME - On Sunday afternoon, the Saint Joseph's College baseball team collected their third consecutive North Atlantic Conference tournament championship. The Monks also gathered several individual accolades. Junior shortstop Luke Enman (Milan, NH) was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament just two days after he was announced as the North Atlantic Conference Player of the Year. Perhaps nobody was happier for Luke than his big brother Dan, a senior utility player for the Monks. "Playing with Luke has always been fun, starting back in farm league until now. We have always competed with each other during games and tried to make others around us better," said Dan Enman.

Luke Enman may lead the team in just about every offensive category, but if you ask head coach Will Sanborn which Enman is more valuable to his team, it will take him a moment to produce an answer. "That really is impossible for me to say. Sure, Luke is our most talented player, but Danny embodies exactly what is means to play St. Joe's baseball," said Sanborn. At a time that saw Luke Enman put together one of the most impressive offensive seasons in program history, not to mention more than a few mind-boggling plays at shortstop, Dan Enman continued to work hard every day and try to take advantage of every opportunity he got. "I have played every position except for catcher here at St. Joe's. Whenever I had the chance, I tried to make every moment count and perform to the best of my ability," said the older Enman.

The 2007 campaign saw Luke pile up a .438 batting average (63-144) to go with 8 homeruns and 49 RBI in his 38 games. Luke also drew 20 walks on the season and was 14-16 in stolen base attempts. "Coach Sanborn has helped me a lot with my swing, keeping my weight back," said Luke Enman. "I am being pitched to a lot tougher; I have had to work hard because I have seen so much off-speed stuff this year."

Dan Enman played in 27 games for the Monks, mostly at first base, starting 8 contests. Dan also saw significant time as the designated hitter as well as a defensive replacement at first base late in games. "Danny never complained once about playing time; he never allowed his work ethic to waver. When he was given opportunities' he took advantage of them. He continues to lead this team quietly, by example, and that holds more value to me and this team than a lot of people would expect," continued Sanborn.

The next stop for the two brothers from Milan, New Hampshire, is the NCAA tournament. The Saint Joseph's College Athletics Department is eagerly awaiting the announcement of the field and location for the New England Regional Tournament, while the Enman boys, as well as their teammates, concentrate on final exams. "I have been pretty lucky to have been able to play with my big brother for so long. This is his last postseason; hopefully he can go out in style," added Luke. Monks fans everywhere hope so too.
