After posting one of the biggest turnarounds in program history, the Muhlenberg baseball team had two of its players named to the
All-Centennial Conference first team.
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.
Senior pitcher
Brendan Hughes and sophomore outfielder
Marc Quarrie were recognized by the league's coaches for their part in the improvement.
Hughes previously was named to the All-CC first team as a first baseman in 2023. He is only the second player in program history to earn first-team honors at two different positions, and the first to do it in two different seasons. 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. Also formidable at the plate, Hughes hit .329 with three home runs, 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
Quarrie put together one of the best offensive seasons ever by a Mule, hitting .404 with 11 home runs and 49 RBI. 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.
In only two seasons, 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.
