All-SEC Honors For Bulldog Lefty Paul Maholm
Maholm, MSU's lead pitcher in its weekend rotation, was named to the All-SEC second team as selected in a vote of the league's 12 head baseball coaches.
The Bulldog southpaw registered five complete-game pitching performances during the 10-week SEC season. Four of his seven SEC wins came in those route-going efforts and three against teams that have held top 10 status during the season.
He enters this week's SEC Baseball Tournament with a 9-3 record, leading the club in both innings pitched (93.1) and strikeouts (71).
Bulldog teammate Tanner Brock was MSU's last All-SEC selection, earning first-team all-conference honors as a junior on State's 2001 NCAA Super Regional team.
Maholm is one of 19 initial invitees to the USA Baseball National Team Trials set next month in Tucson, Ariz.
