Three Legion A baseball Mission Valley Mariners were accentuated with accolades for their athletic apptitude among the recently released postseason list sponsored by Universal Athletic.

Shortstop Xavier Fisher was conferred with dual all-state/all-conference recognition not only for his role in anchoring the infield defense, but for the contributions of his arm on the mound as well as his bat at the plate.

Receiving all-conference recognition was Dawson Dumont, who consistently baffled opposition hurlers with his penchant for punching their best pitches into play.

Acknowledged as an honorable mention was versatile Alex Muzquiz for his multiple roles on the mound, in the field and at the plate.

Eric Dolence was the lone 2019 all-conference recipient last year.

Winner of the Class A scholarship was Keyan Dalbey, a back-to-back performance coupled with his reap last season. Dalbey was also awarded the Boyd Nelson Memorial MVP at the Libby Big Buck$ Tournament earlier in the season.
