DALLAS --- Tusculum College's Craig Goodman and Cade Stallings have been named to the 2012 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division II All-America Team.

Goodman was named to the All-America Third Team, while Stallings garnered honorable mention recognition.

Goodman, a senior right-hander from Clearwater, Fla., was named the South Atlantic Conference co-Pitcher of the Year and the NCBWA Southeast Region Pitcher of the Year earlier this month. The two-time All-SAC First Team standout posted a 10-0 record in his 13 starts, including three complete games. He accounted for a 2.00 earned run average, which is tied for the fourth lowest in school history.

The Clearwater High School graduate pitched in 94.1 innings (5th in TC history) and established a new school single-season record with 89 strikeouts. Goodman was named a national semifinalist for the Tino Martinez DII National Player of the Year Award and was selected to the Daktronics Division II All-America Third Team.

For his career, Goodman went 22-6 (3rd in TC history) with a 2.78 ERA (T4th in TC history) in his 45 appearances, including 32 starts (T3rd in TC history). He pitched in 220 innings (4th in TC history), accounting for 196 career strikeouts for the second most in school history.

Stallings, a junior third baseman from Knoxville, Tenn., earns All-America honors for a second time in his inaugural season with the Pioneers. The University of Louisville transfer earned All-America honorable mention accolades by the DII Sports Information Directors (Daktronics). Stallings batted .367 with 80 hits (T8th in TC history), including 16 doubles, 11 home runs (T10th in TC history) and a team-best 63 RBI (T7th in TC history). His 64 runs scored are tied for the seventh most in school history.

The Farragut High School graduate was hit by a pitch 17 times, which are the second most in TC history and one shy of the school record. He also recorded seven sacrifice flies, which are tied for the second most ever by a Pioneer. He is a consensus All-Region selection at third base this year.

Tusculum accounted for one of the best seasons in school history in 2012. The Pioneers posted a sterling 48-10 record, including 24-3 in South Atlantic Conference play as TC captured both the league's regular season and tournament championships.

Tusculum advanced to the NCAA Tournament for a sixth time in school history where the Pioneers went 2-2 to finish third at the Southeast Regional. TC also earned the Pioneers its highest national ranking, being listed as the No. 2 team in the country. They are currently listed at No. 8 in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Coaches' Poll.
