There, he’s poised once again to take advantage of new horizons and a fresh perspective.Leatherbound. With graduation now behind him, Lynch is testing his leadership mettle as a 2nd Lt. Lynch’s standout season performance also earned him second-team All-GNAC honors and his second cameo on the conference all-defensive team. He also played in every game, all 31 of them. He led the team in nearly every offensive statistic: hits, runs, doubles, triples, RBIs, walks, stolen bases, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and plate appearances. Lynch showed that desire earlier this spring during his final season as a Cadet outfielder. “He missed our fall season to study abroad,” Pecora says, “and I could just tell that he wanted very much to be a part of the program again.” Head Baseball Coach Frank Pecora noticed the change in Lynch nearly the instant he returned to campus. “Coming back from Spain made me want to give even more - both in the classroom and on the field,” he says. The experience rejuvenated him, both as a student and as a player. “It was a perfect time to get away,” he says.

The Randolph, Massachusetts, native played in all 35 games that season, earning third-team all-conference honors. But if it weren’t for a semester abroad in Spain during the fall of his senior year, his Norwich career could have ended much differently.Īs a rook, Lynch earned his spot as the Cadets’ starting centerfielder.
