ST. JOSEPH – Add two more honors to the mantle for Missouri Western baseball’s David Glaude and Landon Mason. Both of the infielders were named to ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division II All-Region Teams.
Glaude was named a first team infielder, his third All-Region honor and second first team selection. Playing primarily second base, the junior tied for the team lead with Mason, batting .403 on the season. Glaude was twice named MIAA Hitter of the Week and led the team in hits (91), doubles (22), triples (6) and RBIs (74). His 10 home runs were second on the team as were his 62 runs scored. In the field, the Quebec City native committed just seven errors with 147 assists and 116 putouts for a .974 fielding percentage.
Mason battled through the season to hit .403 and earn his third second team All-Region honor. The junior shortstop hit safely in 37 of the 47 games he played in, including a 21-game hitting streak that saw his batting average climb from .412 to .448. A Blue Springs native, Mason was charged with nine errors in 47 games, picking up 95 assists and 58 putouts for a .944 fielding percentage.
Both were named first team All-MIAA and were selected to both D2CCA and NCBWA All-Central Region teams. The pair helped Missouri Western to the second most wins in program history (38) and its third ever appearance in the NCAA Central Regional. Glaude and Mason were instrumental in the team setting program records for hits (673), runs (481), home runs (67) and RBIs (447) in a season.
