Livesay had a stellar sophomore season as he established himself as one of the conference's and country's top all-around players. Livesay led the team and ranked fifth in the SCAC with a .370 batting average as he earned First-Team All-SCAC honors and was the league leader in both hits (64) and runs scored (52) and ranked in the top five in both OBP (.486) and slugging % (.555).
Livesay belted six home runs (second on the team) and added 12 doubles and a triple and finished with 32 RBI. He was the conference leader in total bases (96) and ranked in the top five in walks (30) while only striking out 32 times in a team-high 173 at-bats. Livesay stole a team-best 19 bases and was only caught five times as he ranked in the top five in the league in the category.

He posted 20 multi-hit games including six 3-hit games, a 4-hit game, and one game with a career-high five hits.
Myers had a sensational sophomore season as he established himself as the team's ace and one of the league's and country's top pitchers, finishing an impressive 10-4 with a 2.38 ERA in 16 appearances and 13 starts with a team-leading three complete games. Myers allowed just 31 runs (25 earned) and 84 hits in 94.2 IP with a 1.20 WHIP and 8.94 K/9. Myers tied for fourth in wins, tied for 16th in strikeouts, and ranked 46th nationally in ERA. Myers had an ERA under 1.00 for the majority of the season and ranked in the top 10 in the conference in IP and opposing batting average.

Myers started Centenary's SCAC Tournament opener against Southwestern University on May 3 and picked up the win as he allowed just four earned runs with a BB and five K's in 7.1 IP. On May 5, he picked up the victory in relief in an elimination game, pitching 1.1 innings against nationally-ranked Trinity University. Myers allowed no runs on one hit with a BB and a K as Centenary edged the top-seeded Tigers 7-6. He then started the SCAC Tournament title game and went four innings and allowed just one earned run with a BB and a K in the Diamond Gents' 9-5 win. Myers, named the SCAC Pitcher of the Week in consecutive weeks (March 25 and April 1) fanned 10+ batters in game four times and struck out a season-best 13 twice (March 18 at Dallas and April 12 at St. Thomas) as his 13 K's are tied for the second-most in a single game in the division III era (2012-present). He worked at least seven innings nine times and did so in seven-consecutive starts from Feb. 23-April 12.
