Toledo, Ohio---Casey Gose (Genoa/Genoa, Ohio) has added another award to his collection after his successful freshman season for the Owens Community College baseball team.

The second baseman was named to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region XII Gold Glove team. 

Gose is one of two freshmen on the nine player team and the only player from Owens. He had only two errors over 98 chances in the field, while adding 48 putouts and 48 assists. Offensively, he hit .354 with 40 runs, nine doubles, 24 RBI and 11 stolen bases over 47 games.

Gose was previously named First Team All-Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC), and he was the only player from the Owens baseball team to earn OCCAC Player of the Week honors (April 12).

Academically, Gose was also a member of the OCCAC's All-Academic team with a 3.90 GPA.

In 2015, the Owens baseball team went 23-25, captured the Sub-Region XII tournament championship and finished third in the Region XII tournament. It was the program's best postseason finish since 2007.
