CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA . . . Coe College senior pitcher Alec Lewis (Mesa, Ariz./Red Mountain) became the fourth Kohawk baseball player to earn All-American honors today, as he was named to the ABCA/Rawlings All-American Second Team. He was the only Iowa Conference player selected.

Lewis is the first All-American for the Kohawks since Chad Kramer was a third-team selection in 2006. Kramer and Lewis join Mark Parker and Monte Heinemeyer as the only All-Americans in Coe baseball history.

Lewis was Coe's leading pitcher throughout the season, posting an 11-0 record with a 3.42 ERA, 91 strikeouts, eight complete games, four shutouts, and one save in 94 2/3 innings. Opponents hit only .260 off him all year. He led all IIAC pitchers in innings pitched, wins, and strikeouts, while ranking fourth in ERA and opposing batting average. He also posted a .917 fielding percentage, making only three errors in 36 chances.

With his 11 wins, he ranked third in the nation in victories. He was 10th in the nation with 91 strikeouts.

Appearing in nine conference games (all starts), he posted a 7-0 mark with a 3.47 ERA, six complete games, four shutouts, and 66 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings. He led the league in innings pitched, victories, and strikeouts - tying the IIAC record for strikeouts originally set by William Penn's Sani Bozunovich in 1995. He also ranked fourth in ERA and fifth in opposing batting average (.248).

During the course of the season, Lewis rewrote major portions of the Coe record book, breaking the career marks for appearances (57), innings pitched (290 1/3), pitching wins (24), and strikeouts (249), as well as setting single-season marks for innings pitched, wins, and strikeouts. The single-season and career wins records had stood since 1978 and 1979, respectively, while the single-season strikeout record had been on the books since 1993.
