GREENVILLE, S.C. – Prior to the start of the 2026 Conference Carolinas Baseball Championship, the league announced their all-conference awards and Erskine senior second baseman Pierce Radke was named to the First Team.

Radke, a native of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, led the Fleet in hits (77), doubles (20) and total bases (108) and was second on the team in walks (26) and on-base percentage (.474). Radke started all 50 games for Erskine in the regular season, hitting just a shade under .400 with 24 extra-base hits, 46 runs, and 37 RBIs in a stellar second season in Due West. He also held down the second base position in the field with a respectable .960 fielding percentage and was a part of 20 double plays turned by the Fleet. A hit machine in 2026, Radke posted three-plus hits ten times and totaled 23 multi-hit games.

The all-conference awards were selected by the league's head coaches.

Francis Marion's Charlie Bussey III repeated as Player of the Year, Belmont Abbey's Drew Stegura was named Pitcher of the Year, and North Greenville's Connor McKee and Landon Powell were named Freshman of the Year and Coach of the Year, respectively.

Erskine begins Conference Carolinas Tournament action in Gastonia, North Carolina with a play-in round game against Southern Wesleyan University on Wednesday at 5 p.m.
