CINCINNATI - Xavier first baseman Luke Franzoni picked up a second All-America honor, earning a spot on the ABCA/Rawlings All-America Third Team on Friday morning, as selected by American Baseball Coaches Association All-America & Coach of the Year committee.
Franzoni, originally from from Robbinsville, N.J., wrapped up a record-breaking senior season with a team-best .358 batting average, collecting 76 hits, including 41 for extra bases to lead the BIG EAST with a .825 slugging percentage. Among those extra base hits were 29 home runs, a single-season school record for Xavier and a mark that is tied for the most in NCAA DI at the conclusion of conference tournaments.
