August 23, 2019 | Baseball
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Gardner-Webb head baseball coach Jim Chester has announced the addition of four student-athletes to the 2020 roster.
Â
Joining the Runnin' Bulldogs for the upcoming season are Cam Pearcey (Sarasota, Fla. / Coastal Carolina), Joe Brazil (Potter Valley, Calif. / Mendocino College), Elijah Bowers (Matthews, N.C. / South Carolina), and Benino Mendella (Effingham, Ill. / IMG Academy).
Â
"We are really excited about the additions to our already talented recruiting class," stated Chester. "We added immediate help to our lineup, depth, and high character young men to our program."
Â
Pearcey comes to Boiling Springs as a graduate transfer from Coastal Carolina University. Last season was a breakout season for Pearcey, batting .303 with 14 doubles, five home runs, 31 RBI and 20 stolen bases while starting 54 of 62 games played in the outfield.
Â
Brazil arrives to GWU from Mendocino College, where this past season he batted .311 with eight doubles, five home runs, and 31 RBI.
Â
Bowers joins the team from South Carolina, where he redshirted. A product of nearby Weddington High, he was a 2017 Rawlings-Perfect Game honorable mention All-American and Atlantic All-Region second team selection and was ranked No. 29 overall and No. 6 at catcher in North Carolina that year by Prep Baseball Report.
Â
Mendella joins the 'Dogs after graduating from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. earlier this year, helping lead his team to a 26-1 overall record and a No. 6 national ranking by MaxPreps.
