WINTER PARK, Fla. – Senior right hander Tim Griffin was named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) All-America Second Team, the organization announced Wednesday.

Griffin was leader for the Tars’ starting rotation.  With an 11-3 record and a .276 ERA, Griffin was the driving force of Rollins’ late-season run, which saw the Tars capture 18 of its final 22 games to propel them into the NCAA Division II South Region Tournament for the first time since 2005. 

A native of Jacksonville, Fla., Griffin tossed seven complete-games with three shutouts and led the conference in opponent batting average with a .233 mark.  It was Griffins dominating pitching performances that led Rollins to tie the school’s single-season shutout record with eight.

The two-year transfer wraps up his stellar career with a 2.97 ERA and an overall record of 18-6.  He pitched a total of 184.2 innings and recorded 188 strikeouts.
