Southeast Missouri State's Adamson selected Capital One Academic All-American third team

Southeast Missouri State senior left fielder Michael Adamson has been named to the Capital One Academic All-America third team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

Adamson, who has a 3.78 grade-point average in education, is seventh in the Ohio Valley Conference with a .365 batting average.

Adamson also ranks first in runs scored (59) and third in hits (77) while adding 10 doubles, seven home runs, 36 RBIs and 14 stolen bases in 16 attempts. He has not committed an error in the field.

"It's just a great honor for him and well deserved," Southeast coach Mark Hogan said. "He's done it on and off the field."

Adamson was voted first-team all-OVC Tuesday after earning second-team honors in 2010.
