Moran was named to the first team of Baseball America's All-America team as the  designated hittter, while also garnering second team honors from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).

Emanuel joined Moran on the NCBWA All-America squads as he earned third team honors.

Moran currently leads the country in RBIs with 88 on the year and is two shy of being the first ACC player to reach the 90-RBI plateau since Buster Posey accomplished the feat in 2002 for Florida State.

Emanuel is tied for the eighth-most wins in a single season with 11 and has posted the most career wins (28) by a junior in school history.
