June 7, 2007

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma shortstop Aaron Reza was selected to the ABCA All-Midwest Region Second Team on Thursday.  The junior was selected by the region’s coaches after hitting .332 with 39 RBIs.

The junior was an All-Big 12 honorable mention in 2007 and was also named to the All-Big 12 Championship Team after hitting .500 over the three games in the conference tournament.

Reza, a 2006 All-Big 12 Second Team honoree, missed the first six games of the 2007 season due to a broken left wrist, but came back strong with 16 hits and 17 RBIs in his first 12 games back.  The Patterson, Calif., native was second among all Sooners with 23 multiple-hit games and fourth on the club with 39 RBIs.

A two-year starter, Reza finished the 2007 season as the club’s starter at third base.  He made nine starts at the corner and 42 as the Sooners’ shortstop.

Reza is the third Sooner in the last two years to be selected to the all-region team.  Ryan Rohlinger (3B) and Chuckie Caufield (OF) were selected following Oklahoma’s 2006 Regional Championship.
