TYSONS, Va. --- Championship weekend of the ODAC Baseball Tournament kicked off on Thursday afternoon at Capital One Park in Tysons, Va. In keeping with tradition, the ODAC Tournament features the first public announcement of the All-ODAC Baseball Awards as determined by the league's head coaches.

ODAC tournament top-seed and nationally fifth-ranked Lynchburg lead all teams with nine all-league selections. Randolph-Macon and Shenandoah University saw six players each earn All-ODAC team slots, while Bridgewater players occupied five spots. All 12 conference teams were represented by at least one standout on this year's lists.

Skyler Dark and Lynchburg's trio of right-hander
Nick Mattfield, second baseman
Benton Jones, and shortstop
Brandon Garcia are second team picks for at least a second-year running.
On the third team, Roanoke's
Corey Coogan and
