SIOUX FALLS – South Dakota State University sophomores Derek Hackman and Gus Steiger were named Wednesday to the 2019 Baseball Academic All-Summit League Team.
Selections of the 10-member squad were determined by a vote among the league’s sports information directors and faculty athletics representatives.
