APPLETON, Wis. — Lawrence University baseball star Jake Gordon has been named to the Jewish Sports Review All-America team for the second consecutive year.
Gordon (Winnetka, Ill./North Shore Country Day), a senior center fielder, was a first-team selection for the second straight time. Gordon was the only player from a Wisconsin school named to the team, which is made up of players from NCAA Division II and III and the NAIA.
Gordon hit a team-high .364 with 10 doubles, four triples, three homers, 29 runs scored and 23 runs batted in. This was the third post-season honor for Gordon, who was an All-Midwest Conference and D3baseball.com All-Central Region selection.
Gordon overcame an injury in the final few games of the season to break Lawrence’s career hits record in his final plate appearance. Gordon’s final hit gave him 155 for his career, moving him past Andrew Wong, who had 154 hits from 2003-06.
Gordon had 14 multi-hit games despite being limited to just 33 games this season and picked up three or more hits in seven games. An outstanding defensive outfielder, Gordon also picked up seven outfield assists and compiled a .989 fielding percentage.
A four-year starter in the outfield, Gordon is a career .338 hitter and finished with 27 doubles, eight triples, five homers, 92 runs scored and 59 RBIs.
