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.
Rizzi was 3-6 for the 11-12 Austin High baseball team this spring, featuring a 2.63 earned run average. He will attend St. Scholastica in Duluth in the fall and play baseball.
