WACO, Texas - Baylor junior third baseman Michael Griffin was named first-team Academic all-District VI, announced Thursday by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Griffin was a second-team selection last year.
An international business major at Baylor, Griffin shares the team lead in home runs at eight with seven coming in Big 12 Conference play. The product of Cedar Hill High School in Dallas, Texas, has started every game this season at the hot corner and is hitting .293 on the year. Griffin also leads the team in runs (38), doubles (14), extra-base hits (22), total bases (98) and stolen bases (15).
First-team academic all-district honorees are now placed on the academic all-America ballots. That team will be announced June 1.
Baylor returns to action this weekend, hosting Nebraska for a three-game Big 12 Conference series at Baylor Ballpark. The Bears and the Huskers meet Friday at 7 p.m. CDT, Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m.
