ANDREW LOJEWSKI NAMED ALL-AMERICAN

Andrew Lojewski (Woodland) was named All-American on Friday, May 15th. He is the first American River College baseball player to be named such since 1985, announced Head Coach Doug Jumelet. Andrew is the first Beaver All-American since Steve Rinaudo (Casa Roble) and RJ Gundolff (Oak Ridge) were both named in 2007. Andrew hit .363 on the season with eight doubles, two triples and 33 RBI in 36 games while playing a solid right field defensively. “I am very proud to say Andrew is an All-American for us. He had a stellar season and is worthy of that honor as a player and as a teammate. He handled a lot of tough situations for us this year, especially after coming off of an injury from last season which really limited his experience coming into the 2013 season. I am very happy that he was rewarded with this honor for all of the hard work that he has put in the past couple of years,” said Coach Jumelet.
