(07/12/11)


KINGSVILLE, TEXAS – Texas A&M-Kingsville head baseball coach Jason Gonzales signed brothers Clint and James Wallace to join the Javelina squad for the 2011 season on Tuesday.

Both Wallace brothers attended Tuloso-Midway High School and Paris Junior College.  Clint is a 6-0 catcher who played one year at Paris.  James is a 6-2 third baseman-pitcher who played two years at Paris before red-shirting at Southern Arkansas in 2011.  He hit .236 with 16 doubles and 28 runs batted in as a freshman and then earned all-conference honors as a sophomore.  He hit .344 with 12 doubles and 27 RBI’s while going 1-2 with a 3.00 ERA and a save on the mound.

"We are extremely excited to have both James and Clint become part of our program,” said Gonzales.  “Both young men come from good high school and junior college programs.  James will be expected to help us both as a third baseman and pitcher, and Clint will be expected to compete for time behind the plate.  Both are quality young men who will make our program better, not just by their athletic ability, but by the type of young men they are off the field."
