AIAA All-AMERICAN TEAM NAMED
Following a record setting season Commonwealth Catholic outfielder Vic Crawford headlines The Figment Sporting Journal's 1929 AIAA All-American Team. Crawford, who was also named to the first team last season, established new single season and career standards for RBI's while also belting 31 homers, one shy of the all-time mark, this season. Joining Crawford as a two-time All-American is Lubbock State catcher Jack Flint, who hit .379 with 7 homers to help the Hawks qualify for their second straight College World Series. Flint is just a sophomore so he has a chance to make it 3 straight seasons as an All-American next year. Two other players on this year's list also appeared on the second team including Opelika State shortstop Joe Foy, who makes the first team this time around. The other is Georgia Baptist star Tom Barrell who is a second team All-American selection for the second straight season.
