Eisenmenger Named ROY, Eight Cardinals Earn All-E8 Honors

Scott Eisenmenger earned the Rookie of the Year award, while eight additional St. John Fisher College baseball players received yearly honors, as announced by the Empire 8 Conference on Wednesday.

Eisenmenger is Fisher's ninth player since 2001 and the second straight player to be named Rookie of the Year with Marc Iseneker earning the award last year.

The freshman first baseman started 37 games of the 41 he played for the Cardinals. Eisenmenger hit .364 to rank second on the team and seventh among Empire 8 players. He totaled 55 hits, 12 doubles, 32 RBI and 93 total bases. He registered at least one hit in all but six games and had three or more hits on five different occasions. He had a 12-game hit streak in the middle of the season and finished the season with an active 11-game hit streak. Defensively, he recorded 347 putouts, 11 assists and a .986 fielding percentage.

Shane Barley makes his first, First Team appearance after accounting for his team's most runs (38), hits (55), RBI (39) and doubles (14). The senior also recorded three home runs and 14 walks while batting .335 with an on-base percentage of .388.

Calvin Woolhiser also makes the First Team as an outfielder after leading Fisher with a .365 batting average. The senior also collected 54 hits with six stolen bases, while enjoying a second-highest .415 on-base percentage.

Cody Wiktorski earns a First Team nod for the second straight year, but this time as the designated hitter. He led the Cardinals and the Empire 8 in triples with six, while tallying 12 doubles with a .515 slugging percentage.

Making his first All-Conference appearance is Matthew Cahill on the Second Team as a third baseman. In his senior year, Cahill averaged .314 at the plate with 12 walks and a .380 on-base percentage.

Mike Roman joins Cahill on the Second Team after garnering Honorable Mention accolades last year. Roman led his team in walks with 16, sacrifice bunts with seven and sacrifice flies with four, while tallying a second-highest amount of runs (37), RBI (35), slugging percentage (.434), on-base percentage (.380), hits (51) and doubles (11).

Iseneker makes his second All-Conference appearance, following his freshman campaign where he earned Rookie of the Year and a Second Team nod. The pitcher owned a 2.78 ERA at the conclusion of the season, while holding his opponents to hitting .250. In 58.1 innings pitched, Iseneker struck out a team-high 54 batters and recorded the team's lone shutout of the year against Ithaca College.

Kevin Berge makes the Second Team as a reliever after owning the team's and conference's best ERA at 1.84. In 20 games in relief, the sophomore held opponents to a .229 batting average while racking up 25 strikeouts.

Victor Konstantinovsky, Stephen Lewis and Ryan Smith appear on Honorable Mention team for their first All-Conference nods.

Catcher Konstantinovsky made 111 putouts over 25 games for a .962 fielding percentage. In his freshman season, he hit .269 with 13 RBI on 18 hits, while enjoying a .328 slugging percentage and a .364 on-base percentage.

Lewis, a pitcher, threw Fisher's second-best ERA at 2.52 over 60.2 inning pitched. He tallied 49 strikeouts en route to enjoying a 3-0 record.

Smith, a reliever, made two saves for Fisher in 13 games of relief. He threw a 0.93 ERA with 20 strikeouts over 19.1 innings pitched.

Woolhiser also acts as Fisher's representative for the Sportsman of the Year honor, which emphasizes that "Competing with Honor and Integrity" is an essential component of a student-athlete's experience in conjunction with an institution's educational mission. These honorees have distinguished themselves and consistently exhibit the critical traits as outstanding sportsmen and sportswomen.
