LEWISTON, ID-Lewis-Clark State College right-handed pitcher Andy Torres (Bell Gardens, CA/Arizona State University/East Los Angeles College/Bell Gardens HS) was named to the 2002 NAIA All-America First Team, released Thursday, May 30th. Torres becomes the 30th Warrior to achieve such an honor. Four other Warriors were named honorable mention All-America.

Torres (10-0, 2.68 ERA) was the ace of a young and inexperienced staff for Lewis-Clark State. He struck out 92 batters and walked only 17 in 111.0 innings pitched.

First baseman Mike Madrid (Silver City, NM/El Paso CC/Cobre HS), second baseman Micah Furtado (Kapa’a, HI/Kapa’a HS), outfielder Tory Haven (Salem, OR/Highland CC/South Salem HS), and catcher Gabe Stajduhar (Chehalis, WA/Lower Columbia College/W.F. West HS) were all selected a honorable mention All-Americas. Madrid batted .328 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI. Furtado, a redshirt freshman, batted .393 with 12 home runs and 42 RBI. He also hit a team-high four triples. Haven led L-C in batting average, .418, and home runs, 20. He also produced an .804 slugging percentage. Stajduhar, a first team selection last year, batted .336 with 10 homers and 34 RBI. He threw out 13 runners attempting to steal this year.

The Warriors finished the season with a 41-16 record, but more importantly, their 12th national championship in the history of the program.
