All Times Local to Game Site Shea Robin Named To Johnny Bench Watch List Junior catcher Shea Robin was named to the initial Johnny Bench Award List by The Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission. Twenty-seven catchers from seventeen conferences were nominated for the award by their coaches. Because the award is given annually to the top division one collegiate catcher, the list will be updated to include other candidates until May 7, 2007. Robin is one of four catchers from the Southeastern Conference to be on the list, joining Tennessee’s J.P. Arencibia, Mississippi State’s Edward Easley and LSU’s Robert Lara. The Woodlands, Texas, native is hitting .311 on the season with a homer and 11 RBI. He has made only one error on the season in 188 chances and has thrown out eight base runners in 18 chances. He had a stellar week at the plate last week, going 7-for-16 (.438) with six runs scored in helping lead the Commodores to a series win over Ole Miss. The watch list will be narrowed down to ten semi-finalists, whom will be announced May 17, 2007.
