UNC right handed pitcher JB Bukauskas has been named to the ABCA/Rawlings Atlantic All-Region First Team, the organization announced this week.

The sophomore is the first Tar Heel to earn first-team all-region honors since Kent Emanuel and Colin Moran were first-team selections in 2013.

Bukauskas struck out an Atlantic Coast Conference-best 111 batters over his 13 regular season starts and a 3.10 ERA in 78.1 innings of work. During ACC play, Bukauskas went 6-2 with a 2.45 ERA and 91 strikeouts in 66 innings.

Bukauskas also struck out eight in an opening night start for Chatham in the Cape Cod League and will join the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team later this summer.
