BLACKSBURG – Chosen by the Virginia College Sports Information Directors (VaSID) and announced today, returning redshirt-junior Saige Jenco, along with departed seniors Brendon Hayden and Sean Keselica have been named to the 2015 VaSID University Division All-State Baseball team.

Jenco, honored by the state for the first time, was selected to the first team in the outfield and adds this to his 2015 All-ACC Third Team selection.

The State College, Pennsylvania, native recorded a second straight season of batting at least .323 while increasing his power numbers. In 48 starts, he had 68 hits included 13 doubles, three triples and three home runs for 96 total bases – all better than his first season at Tech. He added 29 runs scored, 29 RBIs and stole 10 bases.

Hayden, a repeat selection from a year ago (second team, DH), earned a spot as a second team first baseman in 2015. Earlier this season, he became just the fifth Hokie to be named ACC First Team as he got the nod at first base.

The Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, native had his best season of his four-year career at Tech as he posted a .307 batting average and slugged a career-high .542.

His 65 hits, 17 doubles, 11 home runs, 40 runs scored, 51 RBIs and 115 total bases were all also career bests. Hayden collected five game-winning RBIs this past season, which included two walk-off wins – over Virginia and Boston College.

Keselica made the all-state team as a utility player on the second team. A 2015 John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award candidate, Keselica was the No. 1 starter for the Hokies on the mound with 12 starts and made 31 starts in the field.

The Glen Gardner, New Jersey, native posted a 5-4 record with a 3.47 ERA in 72.2 innings pitched and 55 strikeouts. At the plate, he batted .313 and added 36 hits, 19 RBIs and 11 runs scored to his totals. He was twice named the ACC’s Pitcher of the Week.

All three of these Hokies were 2015 MLB draft picks, with Hayden being selected in the 16th round, Jenco in the 27th and Keselica in the 33rd.
