Muhlenberg rising junior Marc Quarrie of Miami, FL has been named to the D3baseball.com All-America second team and the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings All-America fourth team.
A graduate of Riviera Preparatory School majoring in Mathematics and Finance at Muhlenberg, Quarrie was previously named to the All-Region 5 first team by both organizations, and is the first All-American in the 106-year history of the Mule baseball program.
Quarrie put together one of the best offensive seasons ever by a Mule, hitting .404 with 11 home runs and 49 RBI to earn All-Centennial Conference first-team honors. In the CC, he ranked fifth in batting average, third in OPS (1.264), third in runs scored (a school-record 62), eighth in hits (61), fifth in home runs, eighth in RBI, fourth in slugging percentage (.748), sixth in on-base percentage (.516), and seventh in stolen bases (17).
Quarrie’s season totals of 27 extra-base hits and 113 total bases tied for the second-most in program history, and his 11 home runs tied the school record. His slugging percentage was the seventh-best by a Muhlenberg player in a season. One of only five underclassmen named to the D3baseball.com All-America first and second teams, Quarrie already holds the school record for career grand slams (3) and is fourth with 16 home runs, just three shy of the school record, in only two seasons.
Founded in 1848, Muhlenberg is a highly selective, four-year residential, liberal arts college in the city of Allentown, Pa., with nearly 2,000 bachelor’s and master’s degree-seeking students. The college’s curriculum and experiences are designed to open doors to new ideas, discoveries, friendships and a lifetime of personal and intellectual growth.
