RUSTON, La. - Fresno State pitcher Cody Kendall was selected by CoSIDA as a Second-Team Academic All-District honoree. The junior is the first Bulldog to earn the honor since 2008, when Steve Susdorf was selected an Academic All-American. This is the first academic honor for Kendall.

He has allowed only six earned runs in 30.0 innings pitched and has hurled 25 scoreless innings of relief work this season. Kendall has made 10 appearances without allowing a run. He also has 25 strikeouts on the year.

Since the program's inception in 1952, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA, covering all NCAA championship sports.
