Greensboro College Baseball Gets Two More Commitments
Jun 30, 2009
Lawson Thomas and Zach Pickard have committed to attend Greensboro College and will be part of the baseball program, announced Pride Head Coach Ken Carlyle. Both student-athletes attended Pinecrest High School in Southern Pines and played for coach Jeff Hewitt.
Thomas, who stands 6'4 ,245, is a first baseman. He was an all conference performer and earned a spot on the honor roll. Lawson Batted .333 with 4 home runs and 17 RBI as a senior.
Pickard plays second base and batted .304 with 3 homers and had 7 stolen bases this past year. He was also named all conference.
"We are excited to have both of these young men join our family here at Greensboro College," Carlyle said. "Coach Hewitt has done a great job over the years at Pinecrest. Lawson will compete right away for the first base job and could provide some pop in the middle of the lineup. Pickard will add some speed and depth to the infield position at second base."
