Danny Muno – Fresno State
Justin Roswell: Where Are They Now?
The Western Athletic Conference released its 2008 All-WAC baseball teams and postseason awards as selected by the league’s head coaches. The Freshman of the Year award went to Fresno State infielder Danny Muno. Muno attended Team One West Showcases in 2005 & 2006.Muno, a native of Thousand Oaks, Calif. (Loyola HS), hit .341 in 32 conference games. He had 13 RBI, six doubles, two home runs and scored 29 runs. In WAC play, he led the conference with 27 walks this season. In all games, he is batting .327 with 49 runs scored, 11 doubles, and 21 RBI.
The Fresno State Bulldogs are the “Cinderella Story” of the 2008 College World Series. Muno continues to help the Bulldogs to a championship in Omaha with an offensive explosion. In their first contest against the Rice Owls, the Bulldogs had 11 runs by the fourth inning. 13 hits and four homeruns vaulted the Fresno State Bulldogs to a 17-5 win over No.6 National seed Rice in the opening round of the College World Series.
Early in the game, shortstop Danny Muno had a single up the middle, bringing home two Bulldog runners. For Muno, Fresno State's leadoff batter, those were his 23rd and 24th RBIs of the season. Muno continued his magic with a three-run homerun over the right field fence, his third of the season. That gave Muno five RBI in the game, a career-high for him. He had four against Indiana earlier this season.
The smallest player on the team, Muno is projected to make the Freshman All-America teams that will be announced later this month.
We would also like to acknowledge of a few of Muno’s teammates who attended Baseball Factory and/or Team One Events and wish them the best of luck in Omaha.
