Sean Allaire Earns Another All-America Nod; Named All-Region Along With Teammate Pat Epps

Senior Sean Allaire has added another All-America honor to his resume, following one of the best single-seasons in school history. Allaire was named a Third-Team ABCA All-American earlier this week. Earlier this season he was named a Louisville Slugger All-American. He earned the honor after being named to the ABCA All-Region First Team as a utility player. He was joined on the All-Region team by junior teammate Pat Epps.

Both players also earned First Team All-Conference, First Team All-New England and First Team All-ECAC honors this season. The Blue Devils won the 2010 Northeast Conference Championship last month, the fourth title for the Blue Devils since 2002. Allaire was also the league's Player of the Year, and Epps was the NEC Tournament MVP.

Allaire led the team with a .426 average, while matching the school-record with 100 hits in his senior campaign. His season was nothing short of spectacular. His 100 hits included a school-record 22 doubles, six triples, 13 home runs and 73 RBI. His RBI total tied for the team-lead with Epps and is a new school-record.

Epps was named the 2010 NEC Tournament Most Valuable Player, after batting .556 with 10 hits in 18 at-bats in the NEC Tournament. On the season he finished second on the team in hitting at .418 with 92 hits, 14 doubles, a school-record 18 home runs and the 73 RBI. His 92 hits are the third-highest single season total in school history. His on-base percentage of .506 led the team, as did his 34 walks. He led the team with 66 runs scored, followed closely behind by Allaire who had 65.

Epps and Allaire were the cornerstones of a solid offensive year for the Blue Devils. In all, five players are batting at least .366 and all five have 74 or more hits in the 56 games. The Blue Devils hit .341 as a team, which is a new school-record. They scored a school-record 472 runs while hitting a school-record 70 home runs. Three players have hit 10 or more home runs, including Epps, Allaire and senior Tommy Meade (10).
