Domecus named third-team All-American by Ping!Baseball

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Virginia Tech catcher Steve Domecus has been named to the third team of the 2010 Ping!Baseball All-American Baseball Team, it was announced Wednesday.

Overall, 102 players were recognized by the college baseball Web site.

In 2010, Domecus broke or tied two school records that had stood since the 1980s. The fifth-year senior equaled the single-season hits mark of 92, which was set by both Tim Buheller and Shaun Sullivan in 1985. Of those 92 base knocks, 27 were doubles, which surpassed the old record of 25 recorded by Casey Waller in 1989.

In addition to hits and doubles, Domecus also led the team with 62 runs scored, 160 total bases and a .635 slugging percentage. He tied for the team lead with 13 home runs and 14 hit-by-pitches, and ranked second in batting average (.365), runs batted in (60) and stolen bases (12).

Domecus’ efforts earned him All-ACC second-team honors, as well as a spot on the ACC all-tournament team.
