STANDISH, ME - Saint Joseph's College senior pitcher Tyler Laverriere (Biddeford, Maine) has claimed Third Team 2013 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III New England Baseball All-Star honors.

Laverriere broke out as a senior, as the righthander registered one of the most dominant pitching seasons in the history of the program this past spring. With a 5-2 record and a 63/16 K/BB ratio in 62 innings, Laverriere recorded the lowest single-season ERA (1.16) in team history and held opponents to a measly .199 (44-162) batting average en route to earning First Team All-Conference and Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Pitcher of the Year accolades.

Also a 2013 Third Team NEIBA and D3Baseball.com All-New England honoree, Laverriere leaves the program with the second-lowest career WHIP (1.10) and the third-best ERA (2.67) in team history. He fanned 140 batters while issuing just 39 walks in 134 innings over four collegiate campaigns.

Saint Joseph's finished the 2013 season with a 31-14 record overall and a 13-3 mark in GNAC play under the watch of 21st-year Head Coach Will Sanborn '86. The Monks defeated Suffolk University in the GNAC Championship on April 28th to record the team's eighth conference title in the last nine seasons and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the seventh time in program history.

While competing at the New England Regional in Harwich, Massachusetts, Saint Joseph's posted a losers' bracket victory over Salem State University but suffered narrow losses at the hands of Endicott College and Western New England University with the latter setback ending the Monks' 2013 campaign.
