Springfield, Mass. – June 8, 2026 – Springfield College junior pitcher Josh Mayo (Westfield, Mass.) was recently named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) NCAA Division III All-Region I Third Team.

Mayo, who also earned Second Team All-Conference accolades from the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) earlier this season, excelled on the mound going 4-2 with a 3.83 earned run average over 56.1 innings. The junior pitched three complete games including a nine inning showing in a 5-3 comeback win against conference opponent Wheaton College on April 4 and the team's first no-hitter since 2019 against Emerson College on March 29.  He also posted one shutout and struck out 53 batters - the third most strikeouts in the NEWMAC.

Mayo was also selected to compete in the 51st edition of the Annual Joe Walsh New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association's (NEIBA) All-Star Game, which took place on June 1 at Fitton Field in Worcester, Massachusetts. Mayo got the chance to compete amongst the best Division I, II and III student-athletes in New England at the game and registered a 1-2-3 inning for Team Black Evoshield.

In 2026, under first-year head coach Chad Shade '20, Springfield earned a trip to the NEWMAC Tournament for the first time since 2023 following a 23-win season which marked the most wins in a season for the Pride since 2018 and the third most in Division III program history.
