Hoosac Valley High School graduate Matt Koperniak Thursday was named to Great Britain's team for next month's World Baseball Classic.
Koperniak, a three-sport star for the Hurricanes who plays minor league baseball in the St. Louis Cardinals' system, in September helped Great Britain qualify for the 20-team classic.
Great Britain is one of five teams in the tournament's Pool C, where it will compete against teams from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Colombia for one of two spots in the quarter-finals.
Pool c will play its games March 11 through 15 in Phoenix, Ariz.
If it advances, Great Britain would play its quarter-final round in Miami on March 17 and 18. The semi-finals and finals are in Miami March 19-21.
