SJC’s Pennington tabbed second team AA An eye-popping offen- sive year at the plate paid big dividends for San Jacinto College sophomore outfielder Walker Pennington, who was named a sec- ond team All-America selection by the Na- tional Junior College Athletic Association fol- lowing the 2015 season. Pennington, a transfer from Texas Christian University who played high school baseball at Houston Memorial, led the San Jacinto Col- lege team in numerous categories. His .410 bat- ting average, 87 hits, 12 home runs and 68 runs driven in were all team highs, and his 12 doubles tied him with two other players for the team lead. At the JUCO World Series, Pennington was an all- tournament selection after going 10 for 19 with two doubles, a tri- ple and a homer while driving in four runs. Photo by Rob Vanya
