ST. PAUL, Minnesota – Ouachita's G. Allen and Dustin Bermudez have added to their respective trophy cases for the 2023 season with selections to the Division II Conference Commissioners Association All-Central Region Baseball Team.

Allen has earned a spot on the D2CCA All-Region First Team, which means his name will now be on the ballot for the All-America team to be announced later this summer.

The left fielder from Little Rock is one of the top three outfielders in the region comprised of teams from the Great American Conference, the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, and the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. This season, he posted team-highs in batting average (.378), slugging percentage (.656), runs scored (60), hits (79), triples (4), homeruns (12), total bases (137), and stolen bases (13). He also led the team in multiple hit games with 26, including eight games with at least three.

Bermudez, one of the region's best two-way players, earned a spot on the D2CCA All-Region Second Team as a pitcher utility. The junior from Chandler, Arizona started 55 games for the Tigers at shortstop, and also made 20 appearances as a relief pitcher. Offensively, he led the team with 53 RBI and tied Allen and one other Tiger for the team lead in homeruns with 12. He also posted a team-high 24-game hitting streak throughout the season and a 27-game reached base streak. On the mound, he served as Ouachita's closer, racking up three wins and a school-record 10 saves in 20 appearances throughout the season with a strikeouts per nine innings ratio of 10.75 and a walks per nine innings ratio of 1.91.

Allen and Bermudez recently earned All-GAC First Team honors and were both selected to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All-Central Region Team. The duo led the 2023 Tigers to the program's second straight NCAA tournament appearance and the school's most successful season in 15 years with a final record of 37-19.
