SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Sophomore All-American closer AJ Griffin of the University of San Diego baseball team is one of 12 players in the nation who has accepted an invitation to play for Team USA this upcoming summer. This marks the second consecutive season that the Toreros have sent someone to Team USA with both Brian Matusz and Josh Romanski playing this past summer.
Griffin, a 6-5 sophomore from El Cajon, Calif., has become the all-time leader in career-saves at USD with 23, 12 of which have come during this season. Griffin has been named the WCC Pitcher of the Week twice this season and has a 1-1 record with a 2.08 ERA in 39.0 innings of work this season.
Griffin and the Toreros will return to action on Friday as they head to San Francisco for a three-game series with the University of San Francisco. USD just need's one more win to clinch a share of the WCC Championship and lock up home field advantage in the WCC Championship series on May 23-25.
