MESA, Ariz. » Hawaii joined regular-season conference champion Fresno State with a league-high four first-team All-Western Athletic Conference selections announced last night.

Juniors Jeff Van Doornum and Greg Garcia and sophomores Lenny Linsky and Kolten Wong were named to the 15-member team that included just four seniors.

Junior Josh Slaats was the only Rainbow named to the second team.

Garcia, a three-year starter at shortstop, finished third in the league with a .413 average in 24 conference games. He led the team with a .510 on-base percentage and had 21 RBIs and 15 runs scored.

Van Doornum, who played some in right field in addition to his time at designated hitter, hit .383 with nine home runs and 21 RBIs.

Wong, a second baseman, stole a league-leading nine bases in WAC play and hit .360 with six doubles and 20 runs scored. He hit .356 (16-for-45) in the leadoff spot with 11 runs and four doubles in 11 games.

Linsky, the Rainbows' closer, recorded four of his 11 saves in conference play and was 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA. He struck out eight in 10 appearances and held opposing batters to a .170 average.

Slaats, the team's No. 1 starter throughout conference play, was 2-2 with a 6.67 ERA in six starts, but did throw a five-hit shutout at Louisiana Tech. He struck out 25 in 27 innings.

Fresno State junior Jordan Ribera, who hit two game-winning home runs on the final day of the WAC tournament last year in Hawaii, was named player of the year and Bulldogs coach MIke Batesole the coach of the year. Nevada junior Brock Stassi, who missed the UH series with a calif injury, was named pitcher of the year and Spartans freshman Zack Jones the freshman of the year.
