CARSON, Calif.--Cal State Dominguez Hills outfielder Joe Gevas (St. Patrick HS) received the ultimate collegiate baseball honor after being selected to the 2003 Rawlings/American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) NCAA II All-American Third Team. The all-america selection came just one week after Gevas was named to the NCAA All-West Region team.

Gevas was just one of three players from the California Collegiate Athletic Association to be tabbed to the All-American teams, as selected by the ABCA.

Gevas, a senior outfielder from Vallejo, CA, led the Toros to a 29-26 record this year while leading the CCAA in home runs with 19, a new CSUDH school record. Gevas also finished second on the team in runs scored (51), runs batted in (54) and fourth in batting average (.363).

A four-year starter, Gevas finished his career at CSUDH holding several career offensive records, including: hits (253), highest batting average (.345); doubles (47); runs (169); slugging percentage (.557) and total bases (409). Gevas' season records include: home runs (19); slugging percentage (.716) and total bases (146).

The two other CCAA players landing on the all-america squad were Grand Canyon catcher Joey Reiman, a first team pick, and Cal State Stanislaus pitcher Scott Taylor, a third team selection. Only five players from the West Region made the 48-man, three team list.
