Mulroy was a first-team All-Ivy selection at catcher and led the Ivy Champion in most offensive categories, including batting average (.324), hits (55), doubles (11), home runs (7) and RBIs (39). Mulroy also stole a team-high 13 bases during the season and threw out 14 of 57 attempted base stealers (24.5%).
Hermans was an honorable mention All-Ivy selection and led Princeton with a 2.85 ERA in 66.1 innings of work. He was 5-1 on the mound and struck out 52 batters. He now has a career record of 9-4 in his two seasons at Princeton.
A trio of Princeton freshmen-Mike Ford, A.J. Goetz and Jonathan York-were also recognized on the All-Rookie squad. Ford was named the Ivy League's Rookie of the Year and was strong for the Tigers both on the mound and at the plate. Ford 5-3 with a 4.12 ERA, while striking out 37 in 63.1 innings. Ford was 4-0 in Ivy League starts with a 1.77 ERA. At the plate, Ford hit .299 with 13 extra-base hits and 30 RBIs.
Goetz developed into Princeton closer over the course of the season and pitched to a 1.33 ERA in 27.0 innings of work. The rookie was 3-1 and added three saves with 25 strikeouts. An honorable mention All-Ivy, Goetz got the win in Princeton's Ivy clinching win over Dartmouth.
York hit .317 in his rookie campaign playing in both the infield and the outfield. The freshman played in 32 games and collected 32 hits in 101 at-bats. York drove in 10 runs during the season and delivered a key two-run single in Princeton's Ivy clinching win to give the Tigers a needed cushion in the middle innings.
The Tigers will learn of their regional destination on Memorial Day when the bracket for the NCAA Championships will be announced. Princeton will likely add some games to its schedule in the coming weeks once final exams are completed this coming weekend.
