Three members of the Muhlenberg baseball team earned All-Region 5 recognition.
Sophomore outfielder
Marc Quarrie was a first-team selection on both the
D3baseball.com and
American Baseball Coaches Association all-region squads. Senior
Brendan Hughes made the D3baseball.com first team as a utility player, while graduate student outfielder
Jack Kent earned second-team honors from the ABCA.
It's the first time in program history that the Mules have had multiple all-region selections in the same season. Muhlenberg was one of only four schools in Region 5 with more than one player on the D3baseball.com all-region first team; two of the other three (Johns Hopkins and Salisbury) are ranked in the top 10 in Division III.
Quarrie put together one of the best offensive seasons ever by a Mule, hitting .404 with 11 home runs and 49 RBI to earn All-Centennial Conference first-team honors. In the CC, he ranked fifth in batting average, third in OPS (1.264), third in runs scored (a school-record 62), eighth in hits (61), fifth in home runs, eighth in RBI, fourth in slugging percentage (.748), sixth in on-base percentage (.516), and seventh in stolen bases (17). Quarrie's season total of 27 extra-base hits tied for the second-most in program history, and his 11 home runs tied the school record.
The first Mule named to the ABCA all-region first team since 2008, Quarrie already holds the school record for career grand slams (3) and is fourth with 16 home runs, just three shy of the school record, in only two seasons.
Hughes was named to the All-CC first team as a pitcher after previous earning All-CC first-team recognition as a first baseman. Hughes was the ace of the Mule staff, going 3-1 with a 4.22 ERA in 10 starts. He was even better in CC games, ranking third in the league with a stellar 2.83 ERA while holding opponents to a .259 batting average in five CC starts. Hughes also hit .329 with three home runs, one a game-winning blast against nationally ranked Gettysburg, 39 RBI and 18 doubles, the third-highest total in the CC and the second-highest single-season total in team history.
Hughes finished his career with exactly 100 strikeouts as a pitcher and 100 RBI as a hitter. He hit .316 for his career with 10 home runs and ranks seventh on Muhlenberg's all-time list with 34 career doubles.Â
Kent returned from an injury that sidelined him for most of the 2024 season to hit .351, tying for the team lead in stolen bases (17) and ranking second on the Mules in run scored (39), doubles (14), home runs (4), and slugging percentage (.541) while finishing third in batting average, RBI (34 from the leadoff position), extra-base hits (19), and on-base percentage (.479). He recorded multiple hits in 19 of 39 games, including a 5-for-5 effort at Gwynedd Mercy in which he tied the school record of 3 doubles in a game.Â
Kent ended his career with 126 hits, tying for seventh on the program's all-time list with 39 career stolen bases and recording a .434 career on-base percentage, the best by a Muhlenberg player in 12 years.Â
The Mules finished the 2025 season with a 19-20 record and were in contention for a CC playoff berth on the last day of the season. The 10-win improvement from 2024 tied for the second-best ever, topped only when the 2008 team went 20-20 after going 9-25 the previous season.Â
