Austin High School graduate Kyle Rizzi went 2-for-5 with a walk in three games for the Southern team in the 29th annual Lions All-Star Tournament Friday and Saturday in Chaska. Rizzi was one of 80 seniors statewide selected to play.

"There were about 12 pitchers on the team, so I ended up playing all three games at second base," Rizzi said.

Rizzi's Southern squad went 3-0 in the tournament, including a defeat of the Metro West team that featured eight Division I-bound players.
