A Liberty League First-Team All-Star, Pearson was forced into the designated hitter role due to injury before returning to the outfield late in the season, but he still managed to hit at a .371/.430/593 clip for the year. He also stroked 24 extra-base hits, including 20 doubles, tied for 11th in the country, and his rate of 0.53 doubles per game is eighth in the country. He scored 42 runs and drove in 34 more while striking for 52 hits overall. Seventeen of his 24 extra-base hits and 24 of his 34 runs batted in came in conference games.

A Liberty League Second-Team All-Star, Burns was picked as the all-region second team's reliever as well. Burns was barely edged for the conference's earned run average title on the last day of the Liberty League Tournament, but following the NCAAs he edged back up to the top spot as the only qualifying pitcher to post a sub-2.00 ERA, finishing at 1.69, which ranks 21st in the country. He was 2-1 with a save in 15 appearances and struck out 54 hitters in 53.1 innings, with his strikeout total ranking fourth in the conference.
