Shane Komine, a 1998 Kalani High graduate, yesterday was named a second-team college All-America pitcher by Baseball America Magazine, his second All-America citation in two days and fourth this season.
Komine, a junior at Nebraska, was a 19th-round choice of the St. Louis Cardinals in the major-league first-year player draft on June 5, but has not announced whether he will sign a professional contract or return to Nebraska.
Previously this season he was chosen first-team Louisville Slugger All-America by Collegiate Baseball newspaper, and second team by The Sporting News and American Baseball Coaches Association.
He had a 14-2 record with Nebraska this season and holds school career records in wins (31), strikeouts (395) and innings pitched (334 1/3).
