Price catches first team All-American accolades

SELINSGROVE, PA – Crusader catcher Chris Price (Coral Springs, Fla./Coral Glades) joined 15 others on the D3baseball.com 2008 All-American first team announced Tuesday afternoon.

Price, a standout sophomore, homered nine times en route to tying Susquehanna’s single-season home run record while also surpassing Brandon Naples’ 1995 season record of 56 hits, with 69. He can also be found in the Crusader single-season record books dishing out 46 RBI to knot him at first while tallying 44 runs to tie for the second most in one season of play.

Flirting with a number of all-time records, Price also connected with 14 doubles and two triples, stole 19 bases, recorded a .469 batting average and yielded a potent .966 fielding percentage this spring.

The All-American team consists of three teams plus honorable mention and was voted on by D3baseball.com staff, contributors and SIDs from more than 550 nominations. Jay Enoch of Juniata College and Michael Bzozowski of the Catholic University of America joined Price in representing the Landmark Conference with All-American honors.
