CLEVELAND, Ohio—The Mid-American Conference named their All-MAC First and Second Teams on Tuesday night, with two members of the Bowling Green State University baseball team being honored by the head coaches of the Mid-American Conference.

Losby, a junior from Bryan, Ohio, has played in 102 consecutive games for the Orange and Brown. The third-year catcher has played in every game in 2013, starting 46-of-48.

Shay, a junior from Garden City, Mich., leads the Mid-American Conference in numerous
offensive categories during league play. Shay won the MAC's triple crown, batting .400 during MAC play with a league-leading 28 RBI and five home runs.
