CABRERA NAMED FRESHMAN ALL-AMERICAN BY NCBWA
LSU
outfielder Daniel Cabrera received Freshman All-America recognition
Monday from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. The
honor marked Cabrera’s second Freshman All-America designation, as he
was named last week to the Collegiate Baseball magazine Freshman
All-America squad. Cabrera,
a Baton Rouge, La., product, batted .315 this season with 18 doubles,
two triples, eight homers and 54 RBI. A Freshman All-SEC selection, he
is fifth in the league in RBI and sixth in the conference in doubles. He
was named SEC Freshman of the Week on May 14 after he enjoyed an
incredible week in leading LSU to three wins in four games, including
an SEC series victory over Alabama. Cabrera hit .769 (10-for-13) in
four games (May 9-13) with two doubles, one triple, two homers and 10
RBI. In the Tigers’ series victory over Alabama (May 11-13), he
hit .700 (7-for-10) with two doubles, one triple, one homer and six RBI. Cabrera
launched a three-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth inning
to give the Tigers a 9-7 win over Tennessee on April 15, and in LSU’s
10-4 win over Tulane on March 21, he collected a career-high four hits
– including two doubles – scored three runs and posted one RBI. Cabrera,
who posted a 12-game hitting streak – LSU’s second-longest of the
season – from May 9 through May 25, batted .320 in the SEC Tournament
with two doubles, five RBI and three runs.
