Rosemont College is proud to share that two standout players have earned Third Team All Conference honors for the 2026 baseball season. Senior outfielder Brandon Peake and sophomore infielder Joe Bentivegna were both selected to the United East Conference Third Team. This is a significant achievement in one of the largest NCAA Division III conferences in the country.
Brandon Peake Earns Third Team All Conference Honors
Senior centerfielder Brandon Peake capped off an outstanding four year career by earning Third Team All Conference recognition. Peake started 31 games and led the Ravens with a .349 batting average. He also recorded 11 doubles and 3 triples during the season.
On receiving the honor, Peake shared:
“It is an honor to represent Rosemont one last time by getting this accomplishment. I am proud of my teammates and coaches for helping me get there. I am proud to see my hard work pay off, and I don't think I'd be here without the support of my mom, and brothers: Dom, Zach, and Justin. To me, it is the perfect send off to go with the so many amazing memories that I have made in my career here.”
Joe Bentivegna Named to Third Team All Conference
Sophomore shortstop Joe Bentivegna had an impressive first full season at the collegiate level, earning Third Team All Conference honors. He appeared in 32 games, hitting .330 with 14 doubles, a triple, and a home run while leading the team in slugging percentage.
Bentivegna expressed his gratitude:
“Third Team All Conference is a huge honor, and I'm grateful for the recognition. I couldn't have done it without my coaches and teammates. I'm proud of what I accomplished and excited to keep improving.”
A Well Deserved Honor for the Final Season
The United East Conference featured 13 teams in 2026, making these Third Team All Conference selections highly competitive. Selections were determined by a vote of the conference’s head coaches, adding even more prestige to the accomplishment.
Furthermore, these honors are a fitting tribute to two players who helped lead the Ravens during their final baseball season. Their hard work, dedication, and leadership on and off the field have left a lasting mark on the Rosemont Baseball program.
Congratulations to Brandon Peake and Joe Bentivegna on this outstanding accomplishment! Thank you for representing the Ravens with commitment and resilience.
