<b>USCB Lewallyn named coach of the year</b>

The accolades are still rolling in from the best season in the University of South Carolina Beaufort baseball program’s brief history, as head coach Bryan Lewallyn was named the Rawlings-NAIA Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year during the 2013 Rawlings-NAIA Hall of Fame and Awards Luncheon. While serving as USCB’s interim head coach during the 2012 season, Lewallyn led the Sand Sharks to a best-ever 41-19 record and their first trip to the Avista-NAIA World Series. Lewallyn was rewarded by being named the second head coach in USCB baseball’s four-year history, succeeding Rick Sofield.
