AIKEN, S.C. – University of South Carolina Aiken junior

Carmon was chosen to the third team as a shortstop. Last week at
the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional in Mount Olive, N.C.,
Carmon was named to the American Baseball Coaches Association

categories. He was also second in the league in assists with
162.
Carmon, who ended the regular season first in the PBC in total
bases (115) and triples (seven), started all 50 games for USC Aiken
at shortstop in 2011. The seven triples have him currently in the
top 10 in the category in NCAA Division II.
He concluded his junior campaign hitting .373 (72-for-193) with
46 runs scored and 26 RBIs. He finished his season with 28
extra-base hits on 17 doubles, seven triples and four home
runs.

.596 and an on-base percentage of .474 in 2011.
The Camden High School product owned a team-best 11-game hitting
streak this past season. Carmon also obtained 20 multiple hit games
