GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Nic Swanson is Northeastern State's first baseball All-American since 2014, with the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) announcing him as an ABCA/Rawlings Second Team selection Friday. 

The Bixby, Okla. native was previously named a First Team All-Region Selection by the ABCA on Wednesday and was a Second Team All-Region by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and Athletics Communication Directors of the Central Region.

Swanson held one of the lowest earned run averages nationally this season for a starter at 1.55 and had a 9-1 record striking out 106 batters.  He was short of the program's single-season NCAA Division II era mark, which was accomplished with three more appearances.   Swanson's nine wins are the most for an NSU starting pitcher since 2002, and his ERA is the lowest among starters since 1996.
