Five Buckeyes are CSC Academic All-District Honorees

Five members of the Ohio State softball team – Morgan Frye, Kami Kortokrax, Sami Bewick, Taylor Cruse and Skylar Limon – have been named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team. To be nominated, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.50 grade-point average at her current institution and must be in at least their second collegiate season.

Academic All-District honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America ballot. First, second and third-team Academic All-America honorees will be announced June 17.

Frye spent one season with Ohio State after graduating from Berry College and made the most of it. On the field, she hit .379 with 12 home runs, 38 RBI, 26 extra base hits and a .790 slugging percentage. In the classroom, she earned a degree in environmental assessment and will soon be enrolled in Ohio State’s Moritz College of Law.

Like Frye, Bewick transferred to Ohio State from Maimi University and started all 60 games this past season at third base. A .330 hitter, she scored 54 runs, hit nine homers and drove in 34 runs. She’s majoring in finance.

Kortokrax, a Westerville native, graduated in May with her degree in communications. She started all 217 games in her Buckeye career and finished with 213 hits, 39 home runs, 144 RBI and 142 runs scored.

Curse and Limon made up two thirds of the Buckeyes’ starting outfield. A sophomore, Cruse earned second team All-Big Ten and second team All-Region honors as she hit .308 with 16 home runs and 54 RBI on the year. She’s majoring in marketing. Limon, meanwhile, had the third-highest batting average on the team – .361 – and drove in 29 runs. She’s a psychology major.
