The 2012 Tartan Pride baseball team made the Academic All-American team for the first time this year. Ten of the team’s 26 players made the Dean’s list for Spring Quarter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the 2011-2012 academic year, Sinclair Community College had three teams named academic All-Americans. Women\u2019s Volleyball, Women\u2019s Basketball and Men\u2019s Baseball all received the honor.
\nMen\u2019s Baseball Coach Steve Dintaman said that this was the first time the baseball program has been honored for academics.
\nOverall, 34 baseball programs met the requirements to be considered an All-American team (a 3.0 or higher).
\nDintaman said that 15 of his 26 players had a 3.0 or higher for Spring Quarter, which was the most challenging quarter this year and in years past.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been close before but it\u2019s always the spring that gets us,\u201d he said.
\nDintaman said he was proud of his team and is thankful for the faculty being flexible with the players’ schedules.
\n\u201cI think our resources here are phenomenal,\u201d Dintaman said. \u201cThe TLC deserves a huge credit for this success. Everyone has a hand in this, but it ultimately comes down to the student athlete.\u201d
\nHe said he was most proud of the sophomore class. Not only did they set a record for the most wins as a class, but also nine players had over a 2.75 GPA and eight players graduated.
\n\u201cHopefully this is something that will be expected and will be a trend every year we will try to shoot for,\u201d Dintaman said.
\nIn addition to being named Academic All-Americans, Dintaman said 10 of his players made the Dean\u2019s List.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
