NATCHITOCHES, La. - ULM freshman
Judd Edwards was named to the All-Louisiana Baseball Second Team as a utility
player, the Louisiana Sports Writers Association announced Saturday. Edwards became
ULM's 30th All-American earlier this week when Ping!Baseball named
the Oxford, Ala., native to its All-America Second Team.
Edwards, who finished second in the Louisiana Freshman of the Year
voting, started double-digit games at three different positions in 2010 - the
mark of a true utility player. He earned 22 starts in left field, 15 at first
base, 11 at shortstop, one at second base and one as the designated hitter.
He
batted at a .333 clip with 11 doubles, a pair of home runs, 20 RBIs and five
stolen bases in his rookie campaign with the Warhawks. Edwards paced the Warhawks
in Sun Belt
Conference play
as he batted a team-high .333 and struck out just 10 times in 132
at-bats.
Edwards had multiple hits in 22 different games - second best on the team -
and hit safely in 42 of the 53 games he played in, including 27-of-30 Sun Belt
games. He had the game-tying and game-winning RBIs in back-to-back
at-bats in the seventh and ninth innings against Sun Belt champion Florida
Atlantic and had multiple doubles in a game on three different occasions.
